Case notes of 2,000 to 4,000 words are sought by the Journal on any recent seminal judgment of the Irish courts, the EU courts or the European Court of Human Rights.

In particular, the Journal would welcome case notes on the recent Supreme Court judgments in UCC vs ESB [2020] IESC 38 and Friends of the Irish Environment vs Ireland & ors [2020] IESC 49 and on the judgment of the High Court in Aberken Limited T/A Sinnotts & Ors v FBD Insurance plc [2021] IEHC 78.

Judgments of other common law and international tribunals will be considered provided they are comparatively relevant in an Irish context.

The Journal has emphasised that case notes submitted should critically analyse a judgment in terms of, where relevant, its legal background, persuasiveness of argument, comparative context, internal consistency, novelty, policy considerations and/or potential future developments and ramifications.

Established in 1999 under the patronage of the Law Society of Ireland, the Journal is edited by trainee and newly qualified solicitors. It is supported by its benefactors drawn from the Inner Bar and its sponsor firms Arthur Cox, ByrneWallace, Matheson, and McCann FitzGerald.

Submissions should follow the OSCOLA Ireland style and be sent to editor@hibernianlawjournal.com by midnight tonight.

Any queries relating to submissions should also be directed to the address above. Successful submissions will be published in Volume 20 of the Journal, due for publication in hard copy and online (via HeinOnline and Westlaw) in July 2021.
