A new law journal will be launched today in University College Cork.
The Irish Journal of Legal Studies (IJLS) is a peer-reviewed Law journal run by staff in UCC Law Faculty. It is an innovative on-line journal which aims at broad coverage of legal issues, national and international, both purely doctrinal and interdisciplinary. The journal looks to achieve a diversity of high quality discussion of the law from any angle. The journal is therefore seeking both commentary on current matters and more considered pieces.
The on-line journal can be accessed at www.ijls.ie
The first issue contains the following:
| Sexual Violence: Witnesses and Suspects, a Debating Document Justice Peter Charleton and Stephen Byrne |
| The Constitution and the Protestant Schools cuts Controversy: Seeing the Wood for the Trees Eoin Daly |
| Managerialism in Irish Universities Professor Steve Hedley |
| Antipsychotic Use in Nursing Homes: Human Rights and the Elderly Dr Frances Matthews |
| Book Review: Alison Mawhinney, Freedom of Religion and Schools: The Case of Ireland (Saarbrücken, VDM Verlag, 2009) Dr Conor O’Mahony |
