| | Edward Coke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In 1613, he was elevated to Chief Justice of the King's Bench, where he continued his defense of the English common law against the encroachment by the ecclesiastical hierarchy, local courts controlled by the aristocracy, and meddling by the King. | | | One of Coke's greatest contributions to the law was to interpret Magna Carta to apply not only to the protection of nobles but to all subjects of the crown equally, which effectively established the law as a guarantor of rights among all subjects, even against Parliament and the King. | | | Bacon encouraged the King to remove Coke as Chief Justice in 1616, for refusing to hold a case in abeyance until the King could give his own opinion in it. |

| | In 1613, therefore, Coke was appointed chief justice of the King's Bench. | | | In 1610 Coke decided against the king's authority to make law by proclamation, and in 1611 he resisted Archbishop Abbot's (1562-1633) attempt to remove ecclesiastical cases to the court of high commission. | | | In a series of similar decisions, Coke resisted Archbishop Bancroft's (1544-1610) claim, which James I favored, to the authority to remove certain church cases from the jurisdiction of the common-law courts (1606-1609). |

| | Sir Edward Coke, Petition of Right |
| | Sir Edward Coke was an English lawyer whose defense of the supremacy of the common law against the claims of the royal prerogative had a profound influence on the development of English law and the United States Constitution. | | | As attorney general Coke was the champion of the crown and its prerogative powers. | | | The other two were charges of interference with the court of chancery and of disrespect to the king in the matter of commendams. |

| | Daniel J. Hulsebosch The Ancient Constitution and the Expanding Empire: Sir Edward Coke's British Jurisprudence Law ... |
| | Throughout his life Coke retained a medieval conception of law as primarily jurisdictional rather than jurisprudential, meaning that the common law was inseparable from the institutions that applied, practiced, and taught the common law: the Westminster courts, their circuits, the common law bar, and the Inns of Court. | | | Coke did not mean that those emigrants could sue for colonial land in the English common law courts, for Coke made clear that remedial writs from those courts did not run outside the realm of England, and these common law property actions were remedial. | | | For Coke, the "common law" was still the customary law operative within the English common law courts, which were courts of limited jurisdiction. |

| | Sir Edward Coke & the Safe Shield of the Law |
| | As summarized by Sheppard at page 454, Coke “asserted the authority of the law courts to determine the extent of the powers of the church courts … [and specified] that the Law court cannot give a consultation or issue writs when it is not in session.” | | | In reliance on Coke, Otis concluded that an unjust law was invalid and should not be enforced by the courts." Hoffmann-Riem, at paragraph 17. | | | United States, 522 U.S. 398 (1998): Dissent by Justice Stevens argued, “[A]s Sir Edward Coke phrased it, ‘it is the common opinion, and the communis opinio is of good authoritie in law.’” Brogan @ 420-421. |

| | In 1606 Coke was made Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, but in 1613 he was removed to the office of Chief Justice of the King's Bench, which gave him less opportunity of interfering with the court. | | | A trial was held before Coke in which one of the counsel denied the validity of a grant made by the King to the Bishop of Lichfield of a benefice to be held in commendan. | | | Full of an extreme reverence for the common law which he knew so well, he defended it alike against the court of chancery, the ecclesiastical courts, and the royal prerogative. |

| | Coke's report implies that the judges roundly attacked the prerogative of the king, but, in fact, "the justices of the King's Bench said nothing in open court when they passed judgment against Darcy.… The generally modest views of the defense have been obscured by Coke's report…"[6] | | | In his day, he was a "liberal," because he saw what we often overlook today, that what he called the common law right to pursue a lawful occupation, is the source of livelihood—the only chance for the poor to rise out of their poverty. | | | In many cases the common law will control acts of Parliament and sometimes adjudge them to be utterly void; for when an Act of Parliament is against common right and reason, or repugnant, or impossible to be performed, the common law will control it and adjudge such act to be void.[3] |

| | Petition of Right, Sir Edward Coke |
| | The privileges granted were to "barons, lords, and other freemen." Coke went on to argue the petition before the king and point out that, since Magna Carta, other laws had been granted by intervening monarchs and that those laws now made the provisions of Magna Carta applicable to ALL men. | | | The petition declared unconstitutional certain actions of the king, such as levying taxes without the consent of Parliament, housing soldiers in homes, setting up martial law (military government), and imprisoning citizens illegally. | | | The Petition exhibited to his Majesty by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, concerning divers Rights and Liberties of the Subjects, with the King's Majesty's royal answer thereunto in full Parliament. |

| | H-Net Review: John Cramsie on Sir Edward Coke and the Elizabethan Age |
| | Indeed, the attorney-generalship was "the making of Coke," not least thanks to legal fees, and, according to Boyer, Coke relished the fees likely to accrue from the coronation pardons of James VI and I in 1603. | | | He was not simply a Jacobean wrecker in waiting, an overweening chief justice ready to do battle with Egerton and James. | | | Were parliament and the common law courts the institutional foundation of the ancient constitution, the nursery for men who collectively laid the basis for parliamentary democracy, or venues for personal and court-based rivalries over place, power, and patronage? |

| | SIR EDWARD COKE AND THE ELIZABETHAN |
| | The general approach is to set critical aspects of Coke’s life, such as his education, his East Anglian origins, his religious beliefs, his personal connections, his legal practice, and his government service, within a context based on the most up-to-date historical scholarship available on the relevant subject. | | | Like countless other Elizabethan boys, when Coke attended grammar school in Norwich, he came into contact with Cicero, Latin rhetorical techniques, and the idea that the rule of law was the principal bulwark against tyranny, all of which were later reflected in his approach to the science of jurisprudence. | | | In any case, if Coke had little knowledge of the true history of feudal tenures, as Pocock asserted, that was largely because Coke’s historical and legal purposes never led him to consider them in any detail. |
