Press designed as a legal tool for Irish criminal

law practitioners.

The criminal law in Ireland is almost

completely statutory based and sometime

searching for an exact definition, a particular

source or a point can be time consuming even

with electronic resources.

In the Criminal Law Code there are hundreds of

definitions, some of which are particular to a

section of an Act and some which are particular

to the whole Act. The definitions by and large

are not generic so a definition in one Act will

not be applicable in another Act.

The purpose of this book is to provide the

practitioner with instant access to definitions,

be it legal counsel in court who requires a

definition “at the drop of a hat” or the solicitor

in his office who is discussing a matter with a

client needs to find a definition at the turn of a

page.
