Legal Researcher X2

Law Reform Commission

Dublin

Role of Legal Researcher. Under the supervision of the Director of Research and the Commission the Legal Researcher will be assigned to a project and will carry out research and assist in preparing Issues Papers and/or a Report or Reports for publication. The Legal Researcher will be credited as a researcher (and as principal researcher if this is the case) on the project when a Report is published. Current projects include: •Corporate offences and regulatory enforcement. •Contempt of court and other offences and torts involving the administration of justice. •Suspended sentences. •Compulsory acquisition of land. •Domestic implementation of international obligations. •Codification and Online Publication of Legislation. The work of the Commission and its Legal Researchers involves extensive consultation with relevant people and bodies, including the public generally through Issues Papers, Members of the Oireachtas, Government and Departments, the legal profession and other relevant professions, industry, State bodies and NGOs. Comparative research on the laws of other jurisdictions is an essential part of the research process. The Commission maintains extensive library resources for this purpose, including online resources such as HeinOnline, LexisNexis and Westlaw. Researchers attend meetings of the Commission to discuss their work, including draft papers, and to receive direction. The Researcher will also contribute to the Commission’s important work on Access to Legislation which produces the Legislation Directory, Revised Acts and the Classified List of In-Force Legislation.
