The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council was the final appellate court of the British Empire. Dr. Mohr examines the history of the Irish appeal to the Privy Council in the 1920s and 30s, and looks at the politics behind appeals.
In 1935 the Irish Free State became the first part of the Empire to abolish the right of appeal to the Privy Council.
Dr. Thomas Mohr is a Lecturer / Assistant Professor at the UCD Sutherland School of Law, where he teaches jurisprudence, evidence and the history of public law.
The front cover features a painting of the Privy Council chamber by Ptolemy Dean.
