MRS.

JUSTICE

SUSAN

DENHAM*

I

have been

honoured

by

the

invitation

to

write

a

foreword

to

this

publication

to

follow

in

the

footsteps

of

The

Honourable Mr.

Justice

Brian

Walsh.**

Judge Walsh

was

President

of

the

Dublin University

Law

Society

until

his

death

last

year.

He

took

great

interest

and

pride

in

the

Society.

He

was

concerned

that the

Law

Review would

prosper.

In

fact,

in

the last

week

of

his

life

he and

I

spent

some

time

discussing

the

future

of

the

Society

and

the

Review.

The

Law

Review

is

flourishing.

This

is

an

estimable

collection

of

articles,

a

significant

contribution

to legal

scholarship. In the best

tradition

the

contributors

have

tackled

some

of

the

important

legal

issues

of

our

time.

The Review should

be

read

by

students,

academics,

those

in

the

legal

profession

and

elsewhere,

and

all

interested

in

our

developing

Irish

jurisprudence.

The

articles

span

a

broad

range

of

subjects

including

constitutional

law,

criminal

law, evidence, torts, media

law,

taxation,

trusts,

intellectual property,

and

planning/administrative

law.

Many

of

the

issues

are

matters

of

current national

debate.

The

extensive

research

undertaken

by

the

authors

is

very evident.

This

has

been

followed

through

with incisive

assessment

of

issues.

I

have

been very impressed with

the

level

of

independent

thought

and

original

analysis

which

permeates

the

articles.

The

Dublin

University

Law

Society

is

to

be

congratulated

on

this

noteworthy publication.
