Osborough (emeritus law, U. College Dublin) explores the use of literary quotation and allusion in legal judgments within the tradition of Common Law. He hopes that lawyers and law students, normally the only ones to read such judgments, will find judgments and judicial extracts they were not aware of before; and that non-lawyers will learn something about how members of the judiciary go about the business of preparing judgments.
