Its origins are unkown since it predates documentation of the governing council's minutes, but it became a formally organized in of court in the year 1310. In Bleak House, it is the setting of The Court of Chancery, a legal body heavily criticized by Dickens for its inefficiency.
"And hard by Temple Bar, in Lincoln's Inn Hall, at the very heart of the fog, sits the Lord High Chancellor in his High Court of Chancery" (Dickens).
