We were honoured to be joined by The Hon. Ms Justice Caroline Costello, President of the Court of Appeal. During the keynote speech, Ms Justice Costello noted the important role of academic work as a means of commenting on the law and suggesting improvements to it. The Editorial Board is incredibly thankful for Ms Justice Costello’s insightful comments.

Special thanks to Professor Imedla Maher, Dean of Law, for selecting the prize for Best Article, and to Dr Kevin Costello and Professor Dagmar Schiek for their support and advice over the last year as academic advisors to the UCD Law Review.

Congratulations to all our authors: Aurel-Benedict Grethler Rodea, Katie O’Sullivan, Kona Keast-O’Donovan, Esq., Cara O Shea, Amy Darcy, and Patrick O’Donnell who have put so much work into their articles, and without whom the publication would not be possible.
