A quick definition of Inn of Chancery:

An Inn of Chancery was a place where students went to learn how to become lawyers. There were nine of these places, and they were either used to help students get into a bigger law school or to teach them how to write legal documents. However, over time, these places became more like clubs where people would eat and hang out. They were eventually closed down in the 19th century.

A more thorough explanation:
