Law regulates every aspect of social life. It stretches from the contracts that we make when we buy products or services through to major political decisions, such as restricting our liberties during the pandemic. Yet the content of the law today, and the nature of our legal system, can only be fully appreciated through having an understanding of how they have been shaped by history. The Constitution was shaped by Ireland’s struggle for, and achievement of, independence, while European Union law arose from the search for structures to maintain peace in Europe after World War II. This course provides the opportunity to learn about Law and History and, through the study of both, to understand better each discipline.
Is this Programme for me?
As a student of Law and History, you learn about laws - what they are, how they work and how they change – but with an appreciation of historical context. As well as learning the skills of a lawyer, you learn the skills of a historian. This combination trains students to be self-motivated, ethically aware and critically reflective citizens.
