This book tells of how the Dail courts began and developed into a mirror of the Crown courts applying all the laws of the oppressor. It is told by the people involved, local people, the litigants, the officials and the judges. The book vividly portrays the self-confidence of these men and women as they created structures that answered their needs and their keen appreciation of their place in the emerging democracy.

From the Back Cover:
This is the first in-depth account of the courts established by a Dail decree in June 1920. Presided over by locally elected justices and attached to virtually every parish for ready accessibility, these Dail Courts soon displaced the now largely abandoned British court system, on which people turned their backs.
