New book sets out history of UCD Sutherland School of Law

The UCD Sutherland School of Law has hosted a law alumni reception to launch The Law School of University College Dublin, a new book by Professor W. N. Osborough.

The work follows the history of the School, from its inception in 1909 as the UCD School of Law, to the present day as the UCD Sutherland School of Law.

The Dean of Law, Professor Joseph McMahon, gave the opening address and welcomed the evening’s guest speaker, The Hon Mr Justice Adrian Hardiman.

Mr Justice Hardiman was later presented with his original student card in a frame after finishing his speech.

The event was attended by many of the School’s alumni, who had the opportunity to catch up with fellow classmates as well as the School’s academic staff.

Before the end, Professor McMahon reminded those who graduated from Law in UCD in 1965, 1975, 1985, 1995, and 2005 to save a date in their diaries for next October for their Milestone Reunion.
