Sir edward coke and the elizabethan age, hardback/allen d. boyer

Sir Edward Coke (1552-1634), the first judge to strike down a law, gave us modern common law by turning medieval common law inside-out.

Through his resisting strong-minded kings, he bore witness for judicial independence.

This scholarly biography draws on Cokes own papers and notebooks.
