CONTEXT

Administrative/Biographical history:

Doctors' Commons, also called the College of Civilians, was a society of lawyers practising civil law in London. Like the Inns of Court of the common lawyers, the society had buildings with rooms where its members lived and worked, and a big library. Court proceedings of the civil law courts were also held in Doctors' Commons. It was situated on Queen Victoria Street, Blackfriars.

New Inn is one of the Inns of Chancery in Holborn, a group of buildings and legal institutions in London initially attached to the Inns of Court and used as offices for the clerks of chancery, from which they drew their name.
