On Chancery Lane    


     After court, we take a stroll down Chancery Lane.  This short street is has been at the heart of the law since 1072.  In the buildings on this street - the Royal Courts, the Law Society, the inns of court, the law firms-originated most of the rights we take for granted:  jury trial, right to counsel, right to remain silent, presumption of innocence, the rule against hearsay, and on and on.
