Between 1300 and 1550, London's courts were the most important
English lay law courts outside Westminster. They served the most
active and innovative of the local jurisdictions in which custom
combined with the common law to produce different legal remedies
from those contemporaneously available in the central courts. More
importantly for the long term, not only did London's practices
affect other local courts, but they influenced the development of
the national common law, and quite possibly the development of the
legal profession itself. This 2007 book provides a detailed
account, accessible to non-legal historians, of the administration
of the law by the medieval and early modern city of London. In
analysing the workings of London's laws and law courts and the
careers of those who worked in them, it shows how that
administration, and those involved in it, helped to shape the
modern English law.
