ABOUT THE ISCR

ISCR journal, via Clarus PressThe Irish Supreme Court Review (ISCR), hosted by the School of Law, Trinity College Dublin, and sponsored by Pinsent Masons, is a forum for in-depth analysis of the functions and jurisprudence of the Supreme Court of Ireland. It consists of a conference in early October each year, a journal of the conference proceedings, and a comprehensive website. The papers at the conference and in the journal consider major themes in the work of the Court and its leading cases in the previous legal year, while the content on the website comments on the work of the Supreme Court throughout the year.

The proceedings of the 2018 conference were published as the first annual ISCR journal by Clarus Press on behalf of the School of Law, Trinity College Dublin; and copies will be available for purchase at the conference. The proceedings of this year’s conference will be published by Clarus Press early next year.


Trinity Centre for New Irish StudiesThe ISCR conference is presented in association with Trinity College Dublin’s Centre for New Irish Studies, which is part of the Making Ireland research theme hosted by the Trinity Long Room Hub Arts and Humanities Research Institute.

The Hub is dedicated to advancing TCD’s rich tradition of research excellence in the Arts and Humanities, on an individual, collaborative and inter-disciplinary basis. Multiple Irelands have been fashioned through the ages; and the Making Ireland research theme explores this profoundly complex inheritance in its local and global manifestations.
