A quick definition of King's Bench:

The King's Bench was the highest court in England during the reign of a king (or Queen's Bench during the reign of a queen). It was also known as the Court of King's Bench and Coram Rege Court. It made important decisions that affected the whole country.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The highest court in England during the reign of a king (called the Queen's Bench during the reign of a queen). Also called Court of King's Bench and Coram Rege Court. Abbreviated as K.B.

Example: In the case of Crawford v. Washington, 541 U.S. 36, 45 (2004), the Supreme Court of the United States discussed a 1696 King's Bench decision.

Explanation: This example shows how the King's Bench court has had a lasting impact on the legal system, as its decisions are still being referenced centuries later. The King's Bench was known for its authority and power, and its decisions were highly respected and influential.

Additional Example: During the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, the highest court in England was called the Queen's Bench.

Explanation: This example illustrates how the name of the court changed depending on the gender of the monarch. It also shows how the court's authority and power remained the same, regardless of its name.
