[2020] Irish Judicial Studies Journal Vol 4(1)

Introduction

I am delighted to present the first edition of the Irish Judicial Studies Journal for 2020. This

edition has a great selection of articles from judges, practitioners and academics, covering a

diverse range of issues. History is a major theme in this edition from the issue of heroism,

to Catholicism, and a look at a major historic case. The very topical subject of personal

injuries is considered, as well as the state as a litigant. Further articles consider the areas of

corporate insolvency law, judicial interpretation, and the Parole Act. We also have two

book reviews.

I would like to thank our editorial team at the University of Limerick, as well as our copy-

editor – Lucy Davis, our copy-writer –Bríana Walsh, and all of the authors who

contributed to this edition.

Bain taitneamh as.

Dr Laura Cahillane
