dbo:abstract
  • The legal career of Mary Robinson (Irish: Máire Mhic Róibín; née Bourke), which occurred prior to her becoming President of Ireland in 1990 (and was largely concurrent with her time in Seanad Éireann), lasted over 22 years. Made a barrister in 1967, Robinson specialised in constitutional, criminal, and European community law. Robinson served as counsel in several landmark cases in Ireland, successfully arguing (among other issues) that the criminalisation of homosexuality was unconstitutional, that women had a right to sit on juries, that the Irish state had a responsibility to provide legal aid in civil cases, and that Irish people were granted a constitutional right to privacy.
