Supreme Court.
Ireland's final court of appeal. It concentrates on cases of general public importance and on questions arising under the Constitution of 1937, which frames all Irish law.

Irish law, answered with citations you can check.
Ask questions about Irish law the way you would ask a colleague. LexChat answers from Ireland's reported cases and legislation, pinning every proposition to a citation you can open.
Why it holds up
Answers you can check, not trust.
Irish research runs on two tracks at once: a deep common-law inheritance of reported decisions, and the Constitution of 1937, against which legislation and state action are measured. Add EU law and a steadily growing body of appellate authority, and confirming what currently governs a question can mean checking several layers of sources.
LexChat searches Irish sources first — decisions of the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal established in 2014, and the High Court, alongside Acts of the Oireachtas — and reasons only over what it retrieved. Every answer is pinned to sources you can open, so you verify the holding rather than take it on trust.
The court system
Ireland's courts, ready to query.
Court of Appeal.
Established in 2014, it hears most civil and criminal appeals from the High Court and has become the jurisdiction's workhorse appellate court.
High Court.
Has full original jurisdiction in civil and criminal matters and hears judicial review. Uniquely among the first-instance courts, it can rule on the constitutional validity of legislation.
Circuit and District Courts.
Courts of local and limited jurisdiction that handle the bulk of everyday civil and criminal business across Ireland, with appeals moving upward through the court hierarchy.
