serjeant of the coif
a. A member of a superior order of barristers (abolished in 1880), from which, until 1873, the Common Law judges were always chosen (hence a serjeant was always called by a judge ‘my brother So-and-so’). More explicitly, serjeant at (the) law, †serjeant of (the) law. Sometimes called serjeant of the coif: see coif n. 3b.The title represents the law Latin serviens ad legem, which may be rendered ‘one who serves (the king) in matters of law’.
