Sir Edward Coke was perhaps the pre-eminent jurist during the reigns of Queen Elizabeth and King James of England.

A wonderful book that brings together the rich history of Sir Edward Coke, the time in which he lived, and what the judiciary should be. A wonderfully written book by an outstanding author.
Sadly when you read about the foundations of our American judiciary in this book and compare it to what it has become you truly begin to understand the depravity of the current American Court System.
