Biography:
| “Whilst I enjoyed and benefited hugely from my experience in practice as a solicitor, a strong desire to engage in high quality legal research and an interest in teaching precipitated a move into academia, a move which has already proven to be and hopefully will continue to be hugely rewarding.” Pat McInerney graduated with an LL.B in Law and European Studies from the University of Limerick in 2003. He successfully completed the New York State Bar Exam in July 2003 and was admitted as an Attorney and Counselor at Law in the State of New York in January 2004. He was admitted to the Roll of Solicitors in Ireland in August 2004 and practised as a solicitor for a number of years, initially specialising in residential and commercial conveyancing/commercial law, before branching out into general practice and dealing with such diverse areas as criminal law, family law, commercial law, conveyancing and licensing. Pat left practice to take up a teaching position at the University of Limerick in September 2008, where he lectured in many varied areas of law including company law, land law, media law, legal practice and criminal law. In addition, he graduated with an LL.M (First Class Honours) in European and Comparative Law from the University of Limerick in January 2009. He joined the Law School at NUI, Galway in September 2010 as Lecturer in Law where he is currently lecturing in Company Law, Business Law and Advanced Business Law. Pat is also currently undertaking a PhD in criminal justice in University College Cork. Selected Publications
