*'''Society of King's Inn, Dublin''' - | *'''Society of King's Inn, Dublin''' - founded in 1541, by a group of judges and prominent lawyers who leased property on the north side of the River Liffey. It was modeled after the English Inns of Court with several significant exceptions. 1) From its inception, an attorney or barrister could not practice the law in Ireland without spending at least some years in one of the English Inns, and 2) English Inns could admit members and call them to the bar. In Ireland however, the Irish society could admit members, but they had to be called to the bar by a Chief Justice. For a list of attorneys and barristers admitted to King's Inn, see Keane, Edward, P. Beryl Phair and Thomas U. Sadlier, editors. ''King's Inn Admission Papers 1607-1867.''
