SIR MICHAEL MYERS
INNER TEMPLE BENCHER The legal honour of election as an honorary Bencher of the Inner Temple, London, has been conferred on the Chief Justice of New Zealand, Sir Michael Myers, thus completing the representation of the Dominions upon the governing bodies of the four Inns of Court. The four Inns of Court—Lincoln's Inn, Gray's Inn, the Inner and Middle Temple—are voluntary societies, successors of the early law schools in London in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Association of the Dominions with the Inns was initiated by Gray's Inn at the time of the Imperial Conference in 1907. Since then distinguished lawyers and statesmen from all parts of the Empire have been admitted as honorary Benchers.
