The Irish Legal History Society is pleased to partner with University College Dublin and the Courts Service to mark the centenary of the Courts of Justice Act 1924. This Act was signed into law on 12 April 1924, and was one of the most significant pieces of legislation passed in the Free State.

The centenary will be marked on 12 April 2024 by a special event at Dublin Castle, the venue of the first sittings of the new courts. The event includes talks, guided tours, an exhibition and a musical performance. Speakers at the conference include academics from across the island, as well as members of the judiciary.

Later in the year, a book of essays will be published by the Society in association with Four Courts Press.
