	Edward Coke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Sir Edward Coke (pronounced "cook") (1 February 1552–3 September 1634), educated at Norwich School, was an early English colonial entrepreneur and jurist whose writings on the English common law were the definitive legal texts for some 300 years.
		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.
		Coke's opinion in Calvin's Case established that subjects of Scotland born after King James VI became James I of England could hold land in England as well as in Scotland, because both Scots and Englishmen owed allegiance to the same king.

		Sir Edward Coke (pronounced "cook") (1 February 1552–3 September 1634) was an early English colonial entrepreneur and jurist whose writings on the English common law were the definitive legal texts for some 300 years.
		In this position, and (after 1613) as chief justice of the king’s bench, Coke became the champion of common law against the encroachments of the royal prerogative and declared null and void royal proclamations that were contrary to law.
		By personal and political influence, Coke got himself back on the privy council and was elected (1620) to Parliament, where he became a leader of the popular faction in opposition to James I and Charles I. He was prominent in the drafting of the Petition of Right (1628).

		Coke and two other judges ruled that RCP could not act as a judge in a case in which it was also a party.

		At Coke's request Bacon sent a letter containing the same command to each of the judges, and Coke then obtained their signatures to a paper declaring that the Attorney General's instructions were illegal, and that they were bound to proceed with the case.

		Coke's first wife, Bridget Paston, died in 1598 and four months later Bacon was again his unsuccessful rival when he married Lady Elizabeth Hatton; it was a tempestuous and unhappy union.

		Sir Edward Coke (1552-1634), English jurist, who is considered one of the most eminent jurists in all English history, and best known as a compiler of the law.
		Often called Lord Coke or Lord Cooke, he was born in Norfolk, and educated at the University of Cambridge.

	Daniel J. Hulsebosch \| The Ancient Constitution and the Expanding Empire: Sir Edward Coke's British Jurisprudence \| Law ...
		Instead, I examine the assumption that Coke believed that his common law jurisprudence extended to the colonies and attempt to recover the original intent, as it were, of the ancient constitution in the mind of one of its framers.
		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 had contributed to the sense that English law, especially the common law of property, went abroad, but he never envisioned the common law as a free-floating jurisprudence that could be invoked as a shield against royal administration.

	[No title]
		Coke’s work in the early seventeenth century was critical to Atlantic legal history because at the same time that the English began expanding beyond the realm to create what became known as an empire, they also innovated upon old scripts of fundamental law to define their national constitution--to define the English nation.
		Coke was born in 1552 and served as a member of Parliament, solicitor general, attorney general, chief justice of Common Pleas, and chief justice of King’s Bench.
		Coke's support of representative government and judicial power were intertwined; they were two ways of vindicating legal liberty. In sum, Coke's work helped create the Anglo-American idea of a constitution: a national legal environment anterior to the positive law of kings, their courts, and legislatures.

	SIR EDWARD COKE AND THE ELIZABETHAN
		Most of the activity and writing for which Coke is remembered came after 1603, the terminal date of Allen Boyer's scholarly and readable biography, but the book is written with a keen eye towards explaining the intellectual and personal characteristics that made the younger Coke the man he would become.
		Sometimes, when Coke’s part in a story is not all that well documented, as in the chapters that cover the last years of the reign and the accession of James I, this seems to produce a somewhat rushed and telegraphic quality in the prose.
		Coke could be a scourge to traitors, and he hated Catholics, but the Latin epitaph on his grave claims that he himself shed more tears than the convict when he sentenced a felon to death.

	H-Net Review: John Cramsie on Sir Edward Coke and the Elizabethan Age
		Coke's most notable encounter with religious politics was in his opposition to the notorious ex officio oath, by which the Court of High Commission could effectively force defendants to incriminate themselves.
		What was Coke's involvement as attorney-general in exploiting the profits of law in the form of monopolies and other projects--a club Coke would wield against James I's attorney-general (and others) during the famous monopolies debates in the parliament of 1621?[4] All of this contributes to a certain superficiality and lack of thematic focus.
		Edward Coke was, in Kyle's turn of phrase "A Man for all Meetings" in the parliament-heavy 1620s, yet his plethora of committee assignments frequently conflicted with one another and it would be wrong to assume Coke prioritized obvious ones; he chose the committee examining leases in the Duchy of Cornwall over one debating Magna Carta.

		Coke's insistence on the supremacy of the common law made him anathema to the rulers of his day—and a hero in the history of the rule of law.
		He sued, and although Coke did not believe in monopolies, he was duty bound, as Attorney General, to argue for Darcy, in defense of the queen's power to grant monopolies.
		Coke understood was too few economists even today understand—that the poor have the most to gain from economic freedom, and the most to lose when government oversteps the rule of law.
