Synopsis

The Order of the Coif is a book written by Alexander Pulling that explores the history and significance of the Coif, a traditional legal headdress worn by barristers in the United Kingdom. The book delves into the origins of the Coif and its evolution over time, tracing its use from medieval times to the present day. It also examines the role of the Coif in legal education and the legal profession, and explores the symbolism and meaning behind this distinctive piece of headwear. Through a combination of historical research and personal anecdotes, Pulling provides a fascinating insight into the world of legal tradition and ritual, and sheds light on the enduring appeal of the Coif to generations of lawyers and legal scholars. Whether you are a practicing barrister, a law student, or simply interested in the history and culture of the legal profession, The Order of the Coif is a must-read book that will inform and inspire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
