eIWLR gives you access to all written (reserved) judgments of the Superior Courts
from July 1998, including some Circuit Court judgments. Created by Bart D. Daly, BL,
editor of Irish Times Law Reports since 1989. eIWLR is designed to follow the
exact tabulation of every page and paragraph of the original judgment, an added
bonus for accuracy in citation and brief preparation. In addition, Lendac have
added all National Acts and Statutory Instruments, thus offering a comprehensive
Irish eLegal service. The benefits of our electronic law reports known as eIrish
Weekly Law Reports (eIWLR) are as follows:
Comprehensiveness in coverage. The average number of written judgments from the
Superior Courts is 450, eIWLR cover all of these. This eradicates the "unreported judgment".
eIWLR covers four times the number of cases in ILRM and over three times that of Irish Reports.
Reasonably priced. On comparison of our CD price vs. ILRM the latter is more expensive.
Based upon other case law services, our product price is low.
Current data. eIWLR Online is updated with new material every Wednesday.
These updates are clearly stated on the Online version, enabling the user check
the new additions.
Unique information. eIWLR also covers the Circuit Court decisions when written
judgments are available. For example, eIWLR delivers a number of Judge Buckley's decisions.
FirstLaw was founded in January 1998 by Bart D. Daly, BL its Managing Director.
It was established to bring Irish law to practitioner in electronic form.
It's first product was it's Legal Current Awareness Service which came to the
market in January 1999. In January 2000 it launched electronic Irish Weekly Law Reports - see above.
Justis and The Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for Ireland provide an electronic version of the
Council's publications on CD ROM and online. The reports contain the full text data of published cases from
1919 (but see also below). The
Digests provide a reference to each case reported in:
The Irish Reports
Northern Ireland Reports

The database is updated quarterly. The Electronic Irish Reports contain many references to the electronic Law Reports
published by Context and The Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for England &
Wales, all of which act as linkable cross-references for all subscribers to the
electronic Law Reports.
News as of July 2008....
Justis are exclusively extending their coverage of the
Irish Reports on Justis by 81 years,
all the way back to 1838. They also become the first publisher to offer the authoritative case reports
as printable PDFs replicating original pagination.
Sinéad Ní Chúlacháin, Editor of the Irish Reports at the Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for Ireland,
said: “We are delighted that we can finally make our comprehensive archive of 170 years of reports of the
Superior Courts of Ireland available in a user-friendly, accessible PDF database. The expanded Irish Reports
on Justis will provide an invaluable tool and the addition of pre-independence reports will be of particular
interest to other common-law jurisdictions”.
She added that the inclusion of PDFs would be a “boon to court practitioners” and that lawyers in
Northern Ireland would now have access to reports from the pre-Partition Irish Courts. Given the two-way
binding precedent of that era, the material will also be particularly pertinent to lawyers in England and
Wales. Extending the archive by over 7,000 cases, the expanded section of the database, along with PDFs
for the full range, will be available late summer; while many PDFs of the existing cases are already in place.
