Case law & legislation
The largest collection of Irish case law available online.
The Justis Irish core collection is a combination of Justis’s original Irish collection launched in 2012, known as Justis Irish Cases (JIC) and the Bar Council Law Library’s vast archive of unreported cases – previously only accessible to members of the Bar. Justis made these cases available to everyone for the first time in 2016 – creating the largest collection of Irish cases available online.
The Justis Irish Cases (JIC) is an authoritative series of Court of Appeal and Supreme Court Irish cases commonly cited in the Irish Courts, with headnotes written by our editors. These are published within 48-72 hours of a case being handed down in most cases.
Cases are cross-referenced with the Irish Reports & Digests, available as a bolt-on product. Lists are also generated of cases and legislation cited by those cases, to note how the citing case has effect on the existing corpus of law.
The Irish core includes PDFs of the original court documents, signed and approved by the judges in each case.
Including reported and unreported judgments
As enacted
The following product is available as an addition to any core product.
The Irish Reports is the most authoritative series of Irish case law, published by the ICLR for Ireland. The Irish Digests series is a comprehensive record of cases published in The Irish Reports, The Northern Ireland Reports, The Irish Law Times Reports, The Irish Law Reports Monthly and more. The Irish Reports & Digests are exclusively available online on Justis.
Alongside the full-text content, JustisOne provides an index of law reports, transcripts and official legislation on over 120 services. Access detailed relationships and citation metadata for each case and seamlessly link to the relevant documents on other services.
Why index cases from other platforms?
With an increasing number of legal databases online, it can be difficult to know which platform has the content you’re looking for, and searching multiple services is time-consuming. Justis provides a single point of entry for all your research.
