It presents these law journals as sources that have not always received the attention that they deserve from historians and political scientists. The article also uses these sources to examine the response of the Irish legal professions to the six years of revolution and upheaval. This response is interesting because the legal professions and their journals spanned the traditional nationalist/unionist divide in Irish politics. The most important source is a journal called the Irish Law Times and Solicitors’ Journal (now known as simply the Irish Law Times) although other journals of lesser significance are also considered. KEYWORDS Law journal; Irish Law Times; legal professions; 1916 rising; civil war; 1921 Treaty; partition; Irish Free State; Northern Ireland 29 Irish Law Journals and the Emergence of the Irish State, 1916–22 Introduction The purpose of this article is to assess the value of law journals as sources for a critical period of transition in modern Irish history.

INTRODUCTION After centuries of British rule, and following a brutal civil war, the Irish Free State was established in Jan. 1922. It consisted of the 26 counties of the Catholic South of the country, while the six Protestant counties in the North remained part of the UK. William Cosgrave became the first prime minister and his Fine Gael party led for ten years. In 1932 de Valera, leader of the Fianna Fáil party, became prime minister (taoiseach). Five years later he brought in a new constitution establishing the sovereign nation of Ireland and abolishing the oath of allegiance sworn by Irish parliamentarians to the British crown. In 1948 Prime Minister John Costello demanded
