Irish Legal News

https://www.irishlegal.com/

Irish Legal News was initially conceived as a sister publication to Scottish Legal News but is now fully independent. It aims to keep anyone working in the legal sector informed about trends and developments in the profession, both in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Launched in October 2015, the publication has a website but is also sent as a newsletter every weekday. It covers news, case reports, legal analysis, jobs, and events. The target audience includes lawyers, solicitors, partners, barristers, judges, and lecturers.

The media outlet provides a social function for the legal profession, helping people feel part of a community. But it also has a broader civic role. Lawyers influence the legislative process, so Irish Legal News aims to provide a platform to people whose informed views shape that process.
