Making and Re-Making of Public Law

This volume originates from the fourth Public Law Conference, held in Dublin in 2022.

Leading scholars and judges from across the common law world presented papers on the making (and re-making) of public law across country studies, historical studies and studies of contemporary and future issues.

The book has three broad categories of contribution: country studies which consider the evolution of public law within a particular jurisdictional context; historical studies, which shed light on the foundations of public law; and studies of contemporary and future issues, namely populism, COVID-19, protection of Indigenous peoples, and the public - private divide.
