A Dublin Magdalene Laundry
Towards the end of the 20th century, the decades of abuse and neglect endured by those held within Ireland’s comprehensive carceral network was finally exposed. The treatment endured by people, particularly women, in these orphanages, industrial schools, psychiatric hospitals, Mother and Baby Homes and Magdalene Laundries now attracts increasing investigation and scholarship. Bringing together contributions from leading experts across a broad ran…
The emotional labour of judges in jury trials
Judges are required to suppress and manage their own emotions as well as those of other court users and staff in their everyday work. Previous studies have examined the complex emotional labour undertaken by judges, but there is limited research on the emotion management performed by judges in their interactions with jurors. Drawing on a qualitative study of judge–jury relations in criminal trials in Ireland, we illustrate how judges learn and ha…
‘Robinson Crusoe on a desert island’? Judicial education in Ireland, 1995–2019
Since 2019, Irish judicial education has been undergoing major structural change. Prior to the legislative establishment of the Judicial Council in that year, formal training for judges in Ireland was almost non-existent. Innovation in this area was limited to the holding of judicial conferences that occurred annually from the mid-1990s onwards. This paper places the training of Irish judges in its international context and analyses the reflectio…

The origins, development, invocation and extension of the powers contained in the legislation are analysed and critiqued using a broad range of methodologies.
The Work of Some Irresponsible Women”
This article examines a campaign of jury intimidation conducted by female Republicans in the Irish Free State from 1926 to 1934. It discusses the rationale, logistics and key personalities of the campaign, as well as the policing, prosecutorial and legislative responses to it. The article demonstrates that a small number of women disrupted the administration of justice and generated a significant amount of publicity for their actions, not only in…
Evidence, advocacy and the social sciences
The Jury Speaks
Jury riders are statements that accompany verdicts. This article examines the use and contents of jury riders in Ireland and England in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It reveals the wide variety of contexts in which jurors appended statements to their verdicts and suggests a typology of jury riders in order to better understand the motivations behind such statements. It asks why jury riders survived into the twentieth century and conside…
Hearsay, Bad Character and Trust in the Jury
This article will consider the extent to which the exclusionary common law rules relating to hearsay and bad character, which existed for hundreds of years in England and Wales and still apply in Ireland, were informed by distrust of jury capabilities. The article will focus on this discrete issue, as opposed to conducting a wide-ranging critique of the relevant rules. It will be demonstrated that the rationales for the radical reform of these ru…
