Background
King’s Inns was established in 1541, when lawyers
named their new society in honour of King Henry VIII and
successfully secured a lease of lands at Inns Quay (where the
Four Courts are now located). By the end of the 18th
century, the government of the day decided that it needed a
building to house courts and so, in 1800, the noted architect,
James Gandon, having just completed the Four Courts complex,
was commissioned to design the present buildings on
Constitution Hill. Henceforward, these would be the
headquarters of the Benchers and the School of Law. The
primary focus of the school is the training of barristers.
The Honorable Society of King’s Inns comprises
benchers, barristers and students. The benchers include all
the judges of the Supreme and High Courts and a number of
elected barristers.
The School of Law is the oldest institution of
professional legal education in Ireland. Its reputation is
international with a long list of eminent graduates including
former presidents of Ireland and of other countries, taoisigh,
politicians and, of course, judges and barristers in practice
throughout the English speaking world.
