Serjeant-at-law (Ireland)
This is a list of lawyers who held the rank of serjeant-at-law at the Irish Bar. Origins of the office of serjeant The first recorded serjeant was Roger Owen, who was appointed between 1261 and 1266, although the title itself was not commonly used in Ireland until about 1388; the earlier terms were "serviens", "King's Narrator" or "King's Pleader". The term Pleader was still in use in the 1470s. However, there is a reference to Richard le Blond as the King's "Serjeant pleader" in 1305 or 1306. In the early years of the office, appointment as serjeant might be temporary and might cover only a part of the country, although John de Neville was acting as Serjeant in 1295-6 "for all parts of Ireland". As a rule, they were licensed to appear in all of the Royal Courts, although John Haire in 1392 was described as "Serjeant-at-law of our Lord the King in the Common Pleas". The serjeant's duties were numerous and varied.Casey p.8 Early serjeants spent much time suing to recover Roya ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Michael McCarthy (Irish Lawyer)
Michael John Fitzgerald McCarthy (born in Midleton, County Cork (1864 – 26 October 1928) was an Irish lawyer and an anti-clerical author. Youth McCarthy was the son of Denis and Catherine McCarthy. In 1887 he married Margaret Ronayne of Donickmore, near Midleton. He was educated at the Vincentian seminary in Cork City, at Midleton College and took a B.A. at Trinity College Dublin in 1885.
