The Journal is particularly interested in receiving articles examining domestic matters and will also consider those which discuss European or international law or other common law jurisdictions, where they are relevant in an Irish context.   

An annual prize, chosen by the Journal’s judge-in-residence, is awarded for the best article and a separate prize is awarded by the Law Society of Ireland for the best article authored by a trainee solicitor.

Established in1999 under the patronage of the Law Society of Ireland, the Journal is edited by trainee and newly qualified solicitors. The Journal is double-blind peer-reviewed by academics and subject matter experts, and offers an excellent opportunity for legal scholars to publish their work. 

The Journal is kindly supported by its benefactors drawn from the Inner Bar and its sponsor firms Arthur Cox, ByrneWallace, Matheson, and McCann FitzGerald.

Submissions should be between 5,000 and 15,000 words, formatted in OSCOLA Ireland style and sent to editor@hibernianlawjournal.com. Further information on submission guidelines can be found here.
