Exclusive Seminars for NUI Galway Law Students with the Supreme Court Judges on Tuesday, 5 March, 2019
Legal history will be made in March, as the Supreme Court will sit outside of a courthouse for the first time since it returned to the Four Courts in 1932. This will also be the first time it sits in Galway and only the third time the court will sit outside of Dublin. To mark this landmark occasion of the Supreme Court sittings at NUI Galway, the School of Law is organising a number of exclusive seminars for NUI Galway Law students with Supreme Court Judges.
