The School of Law is the only provider of professional training to prospective barristers in Ireland. A few minutes walk from the centre of Dublin the King’s Inns School of Law provides two courses; the Diploma in Legal Studies and the Barrister-at-Law degree course.

The Diploma of Legal Studies course is the first stage of training for those who wish to take the entrance examination for the Barrister-at-Law Degree course, but who do not hold an approved law degree.

The Barrister-at-Law degree is the Vocational stage of training for the Bar of Ireland. The training is practical and challenging with the focus being on producing accomplished future barristers. Tutors are practicing barristers who retain strong links to practice.

As well as the formal side to education at King’s Inns, there are social and sporting events and mooting and debating competitions (internal, domestic and international) arranged by the Law Students Debating Society of Ireland. King’s Inns has many eminent alumni including former presidents of Ireland and other countries, taoisigh and judges and barristers in practice throughout the world.
