inn of chancery

Inn of Chancery. Hist. Any of nine collegiate houses where students studied either to gain entry into an Inn of Court or to learn how to frame writs in order to serve in the chancery courts. • Over time, the Inns — Clement’s, Clifford’s, Lyon’s, Furnival’s, Thavies’, Symond’s, Barnard’s, Staples’, and the New Inn — became little more than dining clubs, and never exercised control over their members as the Inns of Court did. The Inns of Chancery were all dissolved in the 19th century. Cf. INN OF COURT.
