Chief Justice honoured by UCD Law Society

This evening, 12 November, Chief Justice O’Donnell was conferred with the honour of Vice-Presidency of UCD Law Society at a special event held in the Sutherland School of Law. The Vice-Presidency is the highest accolade the Society can bestow and is reserved for those who have demonstrated outstanding commitment to the legal and political professions. Previous conferees include President Michael D. Higgins, former Chief Justice Susan Denham, former President Mary Robinson and The Rt. Hon. Baroness Hale of Richmond, among others.

Accepting the honour, Chief Justice O’Donnell delivered some reflections on his path to becoming Chief Justice and on his own time at UCD and involvement with the Law Society in the late 1970s to an audience of students, faculty, and former Law Society members.
