The Irish Court of Appeal: The First Decade of an Intermediate Appellate Court

Edited by Mark Coen and Noel McGrath

Mark Coen and Noel McGrath are Lecturers in Law at University College Dublin, Ireland.

This book examines intermediate appellate courts by using the Irish Court of Appeal as a case study.

Intermediate appellate courts are often overlooked in legal scholarship, which tends to focus on apex courts, most frequently national supreme courts. However, intermediate appellate courts perform a series of vital functions, including error prevention and the development of doctrine, and ensuring that apex courts are free to concentrate on issues of exceptional public importance. The significance of intermediate appellate courts has increased in recent decades in tandem with an increase in the volume and complexity of litigation in many countries.
