BOOK REVIEW Index to Irish Superior Court written Judgment 1976-1982 published by Irish Association of Law Teachers, pp. 160 IR£10.00. The Irish Association of Law Teachers has produced an excellent soft cover A4 sized book of 160 pages covering all written Judgments of the Superior Courts in the Republic of Ireland from January 1976 to December 1982, inclusive. The book is in two parts, the first being an alphabetical index of all the cases giving details of the basic subject matter, the Court, date of Judgment and reference in the second part of the book which consists of a subject matter index. This latter part of the book consolidates all the entries in the pink pages as published in the Gazette. This consolidation of the pink pages is very useful to practitioners and the combination of the two indices will save much time and effort in seeking basic information about cases. While the case summaries in the subject matter index are those used in the original pink pages even the best organised Solicitor who has kept his pink pages carefully and chronologically will find this consolidation extremely useful. The subject matter index also consolidates the supplemental index prepared by Anthony Kerr and published by the Incorporated Law Society with the Gazette. There are approximately a thousand cases covered in the book and at a price of IR£ 10.00 is excellent value. It is immensely useful to be able to find all leading cases on the one subject listed together. This book has been compiled by Jennefer Aston, Sub- Librarian of the Four Courts Law Library with assistance from Maeve Doyle, Sub-Librarian, U.C.G., under the supervision of the Publications Sub-Committee of the Irish Association of Law Teachers and also with the co- operation of the Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for Ireland. The book is available through the publications Sub- Committee of the Irish Association of Law Teachers Faculty of Law U.C.G. I am not aware if the book is available elsewhere. Those writing to U.C.G. for copies of the book should note that postage and packing is £1.50 extra per copy. • Gary Byrne
