EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir Matthew Hale (1609-1676), an English jurist and Member of Parliament, is depicted in this historic portrait wearing the robes of a judge and the ermine-trimmed cap of a serjeant-at-law. The round skull cap, or "pileus," worn beneath the ermine cap signifies his status as a barrister. Hale's stern yet thoughtful expression conveys the intellectual depth and determination that made him a formidable figure in the legal and political spheres of 17th-century England. Hale's career began in the legal profession, and he quickly rose to prominence as a skilled and innovative jurist. He was appointed Solicitor General in 1642 and Serjeant-at-Law in 1643. During the English Civil War, Hale remained loyal to the Crown and defended Archbishop William Laud, who was on trial for high treason. Hale's eloquent defense of Laud earned him the admiration of King Charles I and the enmity of the Parliamentarians. After the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660, Hale was appointed Chief Justice of the King's Bench, a position he held until his death in 1676. Hale's legal innovations, including the use of juries in civil cases and the establishment of the Court of King's Bench for Equity, helped to modernize the English legal system. Despite his loyalty to the Crown, Hale was not a blind supporter of royal authority. He believed in the rule of law and the importance of individual rights, and he was known for his fairness and impartiality. This portrait captures the essence of a brilliant and principled jurist who played a crucial role in shaping the legal and political landscape of 17th-century England.
