Court of Claims in Session," 1937: A Glimpse into the Traditional British Legal System This photograph, titled "Court of Claims in Session," was captured in 1937, during the coronation year of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. The image is part of the "The Coronation of H.M. King George VI and H.M. Queen Elizabeth 1937" collection, published by John Player & Sons, a renowned British tobacco company. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the traditional British legal system, specifically the Court of Claims, which was a division of the High Court of Justice in England and Wales. The scene is set in a grand, ornate courtroom, where a case is being heard in front of a panel of distinguished judges. The judges, dressed in their traditional wigs and robes, sit attentively as a lawyer, wearing a barrister's wig and gown, presents his case to the court. The atmosphere in the courtroom is serious and formal, with a sense of tradition and authority that is characteristic of the British legal system. The old boys network or old boys club is evident, as the judges and lawyers are all men, reflecting the male-dominated legal profession of the time. The photograph is a metaphor for the concept of justice being served in a fair and impartial manner, with the players involved in the legal process adhering to the rules and traditions of the court. The image is a testament to the enduring nature of the British legal system, which continues to be a source of pride and tradition in the country. The photograph is a color print, measuring an approximate size of 67 x 38 mm, and is a valuable addition to any collection of historical images or photographs of the British legal system.
