Landmark cases in divergence: Ireland as a new common law jurisdiction since 1922
Wednesday 24 April 2024- workshop on 'Landmark cases in divergence: Ireland as a new common law jurisdiction since 1922'. This project is designed to gather a series of cases where judges in Ireland have not followed precedent in England and Wales (or elsewhere), and to analyse these cases as examples of divergence within the common law and the establishment of a new common law jurisdiction. All subject areas are welcome, and the research perspective can be doctrinal, socio-legal or comparative, analyse any political or economic impact, and draw on any theoretical approach to an emerging jurisdiction. The workshop involves nomination of a particular case, and a preliminary overview of why the case is interesting. The workshop discussions include possible publication outlets. It is expected that an article will be up to 5000 words.
Venue and Timing: 24 April at 11am in CLEC Boardroom.
