www.Courts.ie has judgments database and legal diary service for free
lawThe site www.courts.ie is the official site for the Courts Service of
Ireland. It is accessible in English, Gaelic, French, and Spanish. It
contains a great deal of information that will be useful for anyone who
has a court case in an Irish court or anyone who wants to know more
about how the Irish court system works. For users of the courts, courts.ie contains information on court fees,
forms, and rules. There is information for jurors, and there are maps of
the office locations. All the information is very detailed and helpful.
In addition, the site explains the basics of various kinds of common
legal problems, such as custody, divorce, domestic violence,
guardianship, drug treatment, and licensing. The site describes, in
great detail, what people involved with these must do. For example, in the section on divorce, the site tells what papers
people must file and where they must file them. This is all explained in
a step-by-step fashion. It is critical information for people who are
representing themselves. It should also be useful for people who have a
solicitor to represents them, as they will better know what to expect.
There are also many links to forms and to useful information.
The site also has sections for paying fines online and for filing a
small claims court case online. In addition, there are archives of
written judgments and a legal diary which contains a current list of
cases. The site contains a section with information for teachers and students,
including information about what the courts do, what kinds of jobs are
available in the courts, and interesting facts. Teachers can find out
how to arrange a field trip to the courts, and there is information
about the national mock trial competition for secondary school students. The courts.ie site is an exceptionally well-organized site. It contains
a wealth of information and presents it in a way that makes it easy for
people to find what they are looking for.
