The winner and one runner up will be included on the Attorney’s Recently Qualified Junior Counsel Panel.

“The Irish Statute Law Revision Act 2007 ‘retained’ in Schedule 1 a large number of Acts of the Parliament of Ireland and other early Irish legislative texts. What are the implications of the 2007 Act for the Northern Ireland statute book (1) as respects legislation that is ‘missing’ from the Northern Ireland statute book, and (2) as an example of law reform?”
