For its 25th anniversary year, the Irish Legal History Society has republished two bibliographical essays by its progenitor and former president, Professor W.N. Osborough - fully revised, updated, and collected here with a new third essay to form an extensive bibliographical study of Irish legal history. The book provides a full and fascinating insight into the depth and breadth of research on the subject (and no less to the range and rigor of Professor Osborough's learning), and it will be an authoritative and indispensable guide for all those interested in the legal history of this island. Also included, to mark the anniversary, as well as to pay tribute to Professor Osborough, are his inaugural address from 1988 and a speech by Professor Norma Dawson on the occasion of his retirement from the Council of the Society in 2011. This unique collection offers a complete overview of Irish legal history scholarship from one of its leading exponents. (Series: Irish Legal History Society)

<p>Drama, opera, ballet, circuses, concerts, and puppet-shows: down the years, all these species of live entertainment faced innumerable difficulties in Ireland. The challenges that are the focus in this unusual study are those that touched on matters of law. Assorted venues encountered episodes of censorship and of riot. Safety of buildings, performers' contracts, dramatic authors' performing rights, liquor licensing all merit attention too, as, indeed, necessarily must the issue of the lawfulness of any 'theatrical' activity itself, given the ill-defined powers of the Irish Master of the Revels (1638-1830) and the controls exerciseable under the Dublin Stage Regulation Act (1786-1997).

<p>The Law School of University College Dublin (UCD) has been a key center of legal education and research since its establishment as the Faculty of Law in 1909. The staff, students, and alumni of the school have contributed extensively to the political, economic, and cultural life of Ireland and beyond. In this book, Professor W.N. Osborough, a former Dean of Law at UCD, investigates the internal history of the school, ranging between its origins and survival as a distinct unit, staffing and educational programs, student and faculty life, the governance and decision making structures, its physical environment, the law library, and the relationship of the school to the university and the wider world. Focusing on the period up to the early 2000s, Professor Osborough enhances an understanding of the challenges of legal education and research, and how they have been overcome so as to sustain and develop the position of the law school as an internationally recognized center of excellence. 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, 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.
