Sir Edward Coke (1552-1634) successfully defended English liberties against the royal prerogative of the Stuart kings and virtually single-handedly established the rule of law for the English-speaking peoples. Coke's view of English law has had a powerful influence on lawyers, judges, and politicians through the present day.
It was Coke's astonishing task to set down the whole of the law--from Magna Carta to land law to criminal law, and the system of court procedure, from the High Court of Parliament down to the lowest courts of the realm--for students, lawyers, and laymen to understand it. The Institutes derived their authority not only from Coke's personal influence but also, in part, from the great authority accorded the Reports, which themselves solidified the modern understanding of case law.
The Liberty Fund edition of The Selected Writings of Sir Edward Coke is the first anthology of his works ever published.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The Selected Writings of Sir Edward Coke contains the most important works of the great English jurist-politician who set out to codify English common law. In his Reports, which are reports of court proceedings, and his Institutes, which state the law, Coke set down a view of English law that has had a powerful influence on lawyers, judges, and politicians through the present day. Liberty Fund's Selected Writings of Sir Edward Coke includes not only selections from the four volumes of the Institutes and cases from the Reports, but also several of Coke's speeches in Parliament, Coke's opinions from the bench, and opinions of Coke as recorded by others from official cases and court records. Taken together, these writings delineate the origin and nature of English law and indicate the profound interrelationship in the English tradition of custom, common law, authority (of both Crown and Commons), and individual liberty. These volumes contain the most important works of the great English jurist-politician who set out to codify English common law. In his Reports and his Institutes, Coke set down a view of English law that has had a powerful influence on lawyers, judges, and politicians through the present day.
