*'''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.'' Dublin: Dublin Stationery Office for the Irish Manuscripts Commission, 1982. See also: Ferguson, Kenneth, ed. ''King's Inns Barristers 1868-2004.''

*'''The Middle Temple, London''' - | *'''The Middle Temple, London''' - “Although no exact date can be given, it is believed that the Middle Temple and the remaining three Inns of Court were established by the middle of the 14th Century. The Inn's name derives from the Knights Templar who were in the possession of the Temple site for some 150 years. The origins of the Inn can be traced from two roots: the occupation of the Knights Templar and the replacement of the priestly lawyers by a lay profession.” <ref>Middle Temple History, http://www.middletemple.org.uk/the_inn/History</ref> | ||
