New President of the Circuit Court

Judgments of the Court of Criminal Appeal 1984-1989 Edited by: Eithne Casey, Barrlster-at-Law This volume, the third in the series commenced by the late G.L. Frewen, brings up to the year 1989 the publication of judgments of the Court of Criminal Appeal. It is divided into three parts as follows: Part I Previously unreported judgments 1984-1989 Part 11 ex tempore judgments 1984-1989 Part III headnotes of cases reported in the Irish Reports and Irish Law Reports Monthly, 1984-1989

The Hon. Mr. Justice Frank Spain has been appointed President of the Circuit Court. Judge Spain holds a Batchelor of Civil Law Degree (U.CD., 1967) and was called to the Bar, Kings Inns, in 1968. He was called to the Inner Bar in 1980. He has practised in Dublin and on the Eastern Circuit in the areas of criminal law and personal injury actions. He was appointed a judge in July, 1987. What is new about the third volume is the inclusion of a section in Part II devoted to ex tempore judgments of the court. Busy practitioners should find this of tremendous benefit. It will also be useful to academics and students seeking a more complete picture of the jurisprudence of the court. Sentencing is one of the most important areas of criminal law and one in which there are very few reported cases. This volume includes such cases.
