But I'm determined to climb over it. During his time at the Inner Temple he wrote his treatise on chess, dedicated to Lewis and giving his address as the Inner Temple Nov MissScarlett : I assume that many of the Inner Temple inductees would already have studied Law at Oxbridge, so maybe this explains why Cochrane's training took longer than normal assuming it did. The apprenticeship programme for solicitors thus emerged, structured and governed by the same rules as the apprenticeship programmes for the trades.

William Blackstone became the first lecturer in English common law at the University of Oxford in , but the university did not establish the programme for the purpose of professional study, and the lectures were very philosophical and theoretical in nature. Therefore in the Parliament examined the education and training of prospective barristers and found the system to be inferior to the legal education provided in the United States. Therefore, formal schools of law were called for, but not finally established until later in the century, and even then the bar did not consider a university degree in admission decisions.

Joanna Cochrane In which case, he did die at 12, but the property had earlier been a higher number. Or maybe I'm reading far too much into it. Why did he come back?

A career break? Some family business to attend to? He seems to have spent most of his time playing chess with Staunton and Stanley. I wondered before if Cochrane may have acted as peacemaker, permitting Staunton's acceptance into the St. George's club without which the matches with St. Amant would probably not have occurred.
