About the Irish Jurist

The Irish Jurist is Ireland’s oldest academic law journal. Since the inauguration of the new series in 1966, the journal has been edited by members of the UCD School of Law. The Jurist publishes material in all fields of law and welcomes submissions from Ireland and abroad, though editorial policy is to strike a balance between material of local and general interest.

The Jurist publishes peer reviewed articles within the broad categories of modern and historical jurisprudence; as well as shorter comments, case notes and book reviews.

The Jurist is committed to publishing material that meets high standards of legal scholarship and to fostering a critical approach to the study and practice of law. The journal is widely read by academics, judges and legal practitioners in Ireland; and has a substantial international subscription list.   

Formerly published once a year as a single volume, since 2011 it is now be published in hard copy and electronically as two issues in March / April and October / November.

Current and archived issues of the Jurist from 1966 to date are available on Westlaw.ie and Westlaw International.
