商品簡介
Since 1911, the School of Law at University College Dublin has enjoyed an outstanding reputation for research which spans most of the main fields of law. This book is a comprehensive history of the school, highlighting how the school's activities are informed by a belief that a critical understanding is vital both to understanding the significance of law for social and economic life, and for enabling academic staff, students, and graduates to contribute to legal and public policy changes. The book includes biographies of prominent members of the law faculty, alongside features on students of the school, including Kevin O'Higgins, John J. Webb, and Brian MacKenna in the early 20th century; Fernand E.J. Justice, a Belgian diplomat and the first student to receive a PhD in the School of Law; and future Chief Justices Thomas O'Higgins and Thomas Finlay.
