The University of London has introduced a System of Recognition by which it can indicate to External Students those institutions which meet its criteria and are capable of preparing them for its examinations. We, at Holy Trinity Law School, are proud to be one of those institutions who prepare students for the LLB degree. The College, established in 1968, the first senior cycle Institute in the Republic of Ireland receives no government funding, and enjoys complete academic freedom. The College is conveniently located in the heart of the city centre adjacent to the Cork Courthouse. Courses are based on lectures given by experienced barristers, solicitors and academics with tutorials from honours research graduates.
Lectures are well structured, tutorials are detailed with maximum student participation.
Seminars are conducted by guest politicians, experts and academics. Video films on law topics are used to augment tutorials. There is a fully supplied law library and educational trips are arranged to the Irish Courts, the Court of Justice in Luxembourg and the Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. Law is central to Society. Every community has found a need to regulate the rights and duties of individuals, both to each other and to the State, and part of the fascination of studying law is to examine the widely varying methods used in this process.
