He took office on 1 September and has previously held the positions of Treasurer and Vice-Chairman of the Bar. A specialist in commercial and constitutional law, Mr. Clarke was called to the Bar in 1973 and took Silk in 1985. He has acted for clients such as Open Door Counselling in the SPUC case, the NUJ in the European Court versus Section 31, for James Pius Clarke in an extradition case and for PDFORRA in action to establish the Army Association. He was educated at Drimnagh Castle CBS and at University College, Dublin where he graduated with a Maths and Economics Degree before going to the Kings Inns. "During my term of office I very much hope to see improvements come about, for the public and for barristers, in the operation of both the Civil and Criminal Legal Aid Schemes," he said. "Courts structures and procedures need immediate attention and I will be urging most strongly for radical change which can deliver a system capable of dealing with future requirements," he added.
