[blindlaw] Blind Judges

[Gerard Sadlier]

Hi Dan,

I'm extremely interested. Could you give me a bit more information
either on or off list - a profile e.g. where he worked what kind of
law he practiced - how he was elected (judges aren't elected in
Ireland, so it'd be helpful to know say if there are political parties
for judicial elections, who gets to vote, what turnout is like etc.).

Also, where in the hierarchy does the Supreme Court sit - is it an
appellate or a trial court?

Thanks and apologies for all the questions.

Congratulations to Mr Bernstein.

Kind regards

Ger
