Book Synopsis

''A wonderful book ... a superb book and it''s not just for people interested in law; it tells you a lot about Ireland'' Vincent Browne, TV3

The judges, the decisions, the rifts and the rivalries - the gripping inside story of the institution that has shaped Ireland.

''Combines painstaking research with acute analysis and intelligence'' Colm Tóibín, Irish Times'' Books of the Year

''[Mac Cormaic] has done something unprecedented and done it with a striking maturity, balance and adroitness. He creates the intimacy necessary but never loses sight of the wider contexts; this is not just a book about legal history; it is also about social, political and cultural history ... [the Supreme Court] has found a brilliant chronicler in Ruadhan Mac Cormaic'' Diarmaid Ferriter, Professor of Modern Irish History, UCD

''Mac Cormaic quite brilliantly tells the story ... balanced, perceptive and fair ... a major contribution to public understanding''
