Courts & procedure

An important, gripping and revealing look behind the closed doors of one of Ireland's most important and secretive institutions

'Wonderful ... a superb book. It's not just for people interested in law - it tells you a lot about Ireland' Vincent Browne, TV3

It intrigues outsiders, can make governments tremble and has played a key role in some of the biggest controversies in Irish society. Yet very little is known about Ireland's Supreme Court - one of the most powerful institutions in the country.

Who are the judges? How are they appointed? What happens once the door closes and they retreat to their chambers? And how do the judges and government negotiate one of the most delicate relationships in Ireland's power structure?

This book - the first ever written on the subject - is a revealing account of a fascinating institution.
