THE SIXTH edition of the Plassey Law Review was launched at the University of Limerick at a ceremony held in the Appellate Moot Court.

The student-run journal welcomed Supreme Court Justice Séamus Woulfe as a keynote speaker and guest of honour, as well as an audience of students, legal professionals, and academics.

Editors of the Plassey Law Review - Lee Mac Cuinneagáin and Sadhbh King - detailed that the launch follows a period of significant recognition for the UL School of Law, which was named Law School of the Year at the LEAP Irish Law Awards.

Justice Woulfe wrote in the Plassey Law Review foreword, that the journal is “a monument to the rapid rise of the University of Limerick’s School of Law,” that reflects “the commitment of its students to careful legal research and critical thinking.”

The sixth edition features five peer-reviewed articles and two case notes covering contemporary law, including the question of copyrighting AI-generated works, the right to be forgotten under GDPR, victimhood in the International Criminal Court, the theological roots of English contract law, and the legal implications of state arms supply under the laws of war.

The edition also includes case notes examining landmark climate litigation before the Irish Supreme Court and the UK Supreme Court’s treatment of online fraud liability.

Contributors to the edition include legal scholars from institutions across Ireland and internationally, including NUI, QUB, UCC, DCU, UCL, and the University of Nanjing.

The journal is supervised by Dr. Una Woods and Professor Laura Cahillane of the UL School of Law, and is sponsored by Orbitus Law LLP and Arthur Cox LLP.

The Plassey Law Review is open to submissions from Irish and international law students and legal scholars, and is available through the University of Limerick School of Law.
