2007 Press Releases
Launch of Cork Online Law Review
The sixth edition of the Cork Online Law Review (COLR) was launched on
Wednesday, 7 March at UCC. The COLR, which was founded in 2002 as
Ireland's first exclusively web-based legal journal, is run by law
students at the Faculty of Law in UCC. The 2007 edition includes 12
essays on a variety of legal topics, with contributions from students
from Ireland, Canada, Spain and Nigeria.
This year, the review received more submissions than any year
previously as can be seen from the quality of selected essays. It
remains committed to the high standards established in previous
editions.
Dr Carol Coulter, Family Law Reporter for the Courts Service and former
Legal Affairs Correspondent for The Irish Times launched this year's
edition. In 2001, she was awarded the Law Society's Justice Media Award
in print journalism for writing on family law, and in 1990 she won
National Media Award for campaigning journalism for her coverage of the
Birmingham Six and Guildford Four miscarriages of justice. She has also
written a number of books and essays on cultural and social issues, and
edited the Undercurrents Series of pamphlets on current issues for Cork
University Press. Dr Coulter follows a number of illustrious figures
who have launched previous editions including Chief Justice Ronan
Keane, Justice Catherine McGuinness, Ms Emily O'Reilly and Justice
Frederick Morris and Justice Susan Denham.
