In 1284, Henry de Lacy became King Edwards legislative ramrod. As the King's councillor, Henry de Lacy together with his chief administrator, Robert Burnell, Bishop of Bath, spent five years creating new statutes and reforming others. Henry handled both the creation and steering through parliament the legal reforms of King Edward I. They included: Reorganisation of the fiscal system of the realm. Better representation for the people. Betterment and the growth of Guilds. Henry de Lacy and Bishop Robert were also the architects of a system of courts which would be run by the people for the King, not by the King. It was these reforms in 1290 that created three divisions within the new legal system: the King’s Bench, the Court of Common Pleas and the Court of the Exchequer. English law today contains elements from all three divisions: the Magistrates Court, The Crown Court, and The High Court. ​
