Irish Community Development Law Journal is a peer reviewed online journal, published twice a year by Community Law & Meditation (formerly Northside Community Law & Mediation Centre) in Coolock, Dublin. The journal seeks to offer a platform for interaction that encourages greater scholarly and academic collaboration in the areas of social policy, law and community development, promoting the practice of community economic development law and policy in Ireland and learning about these initiatives in other countries.
This edition will look at education, both the right to education and rights in the context of education. The Journal seeks to explore issues such as access to education, access to justice for those involved in education, Travellers’ rights and experiences around education, the obligation on educational establishments to provide reasonable accommodation to students with disabilities, Section 37 of the Employment Equality Act and its impact on teachers, admissions policies and other key legal and policy issues.
Submissions are welcome from practitioners and academics working across a broad spectrum of professions and academic disciplines.
