Visit from Flemish Association of Legal Professionals

Today, 8 November, the Supreme Court was pleased to welcome to the Four Courts a delegation from the Flemish Association of Legal Professionals.

The delegation comprised judges, lawyers and law professors who practice in Belgium and who had travelled to Dublin on a study visit to learn about Ireland’s legal system, constitution and courts structure. The delegation received a tour of the Four Courts, as well as a talk from Mr Justice Peter Charleton on the composition and jurisdiction of the Supreme Court.

The Flemish Association of Legal Professionals was founded in 1964 for the purpose of building professional relationships and promoting educational opportunities among lawyers in Flanders, and regularly visits other countries to learn about their legal systems.

We wish the delegation well with the rest of its study visit.
