About this listen
Episode 138 – Mary McAleese on the Rule of Law, Courage & Democracy
Former President of Ireland Mary McAleese joins our hosts of The Fifth Court, Mark Tottenham BL and Peter Leonard BL, for a wide-ranging and deeply thoughtful conversation on the rule of law, human rights, judicial independence and democratic backsliding — drawing on her personal experience as a lawyer, academic and Head of State.
Recorded at a special Ireland Rule of Law International event in the Law Society, this episode reflects on:
- growing up during the Troubles
- the courage of lawyers and judges who upheld the rule of law at personal risk
- the Good Friday Agreement and constitutional change
- threats to democracy and judicial independence today
A compelling, humane and at times deeply moving discussion.
The episode also includes new cases from the Decisis.ie casebook and these cases are brought to you with thanks to our sponsor, Charltons Solicitors & Collaborative Practitioners, George’s Street, Dún Laoghaire — specialists in family law, civil litigation, property, wills and probate.
