The Old Munster Circuit

By Maurice Healy

The Old Munster Circuit, the legal memoirs of Maurice Healy, was first published in 1939 by Michael Joseph, and has reappeared in several editions over the last 70 years. These amusing memoirs affectionately describe the workings and people of the Munster Circuit, where Healy practised from 1910 to 1914. Healy goes to some length in trying to describe and explain his countrymen to an English audience. This book is one of `Ten Literary Classics’ chosen by Gary Slapper in The Times Student Law Supplement of October 2005.
