More Details
The anthology is arranged as a series of pairings, with writing by contemporary Irish lawyer-writers paired with extracts from a legal judgment of the writers’ choosing. The writers also offer their reasons for choosing that particular judgment. In some cases a law report may have prompted a new piece of writing; in others, writers may see resonances of theme or language between the legal writing of the judgment and the themes they seek to explore in their own work; or it may simply be that they were drawn to a fascinating human story told in fine language, as the law reports so often deliver!
Counterparts is a mix of previously unpublished work and reprinted material; it comprises short stories, novel extracts, poetry, and personal essay/memoir. Contributors come from a broad range of legal backgrounds and include High Court judges, solicitors, law librarians, barristers, legal academics, among others.
