KEEP UP WITH CURRENT LEGAL ISSUES THAT AFFECT YOUR WORK
A practical understanding of domestic and EU legislation is invaluable across all sectors. King’s Inns offers a broad range of Advanced Diploma courses catering to professionals working in across many business sectors.
As Irish and EU law is constantly evolving, King’s Inns professional development courses provide a comprehensive and practical grounding across specialist areas of the law. Courses benefit both legal practitioners and professionals wishing to upskill or fill gaps key to their organisation’s goals. Completing an Advanced Diploma from Ireland’s renowned law school not only enables participants to understand the law but can also help them achieve promotion or career progression.
“Law should not just be left to lawyers to understand. It is a fundamental part of any work practice today,” states Dr Eimear Brown, Dean of King’s Inns. “Law is for everyone, and the people who undertake our professional development courses are mostly professionals with no background in law. They can be HR professionals, data protection officers, planners, architects, engineers, IT experts, communication and marketing professionals, teachers, accountants, doctors and nurses, self-employed people, directors from small and big companies. Our students come from all walks of life, living across Ireland and beyond, ranging in age from early twenties to over seventies.”
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT COURSES
King’s Inns has over 15 Professional Development courses on offer for the coming year, including topics such as Planning and Environmental Law, Public Procurement Law and Mediation. “Some advanced diploma courses are of importance regardless of the sector concerned. After all, Data Protection Law and Applied Employment Law are areas that affect almost every business,” Dr Brown explains. “Media and Social Media Law is of increasing general importance in a society where nearly every business relies upon media for some aspect of its business.”
Other courses are of particular importance to those working in a specific field, including Medical Law, attended

King’s Inns prioritises ease of accessibility to its courses, which are currently offered through an easy-to-navigate online platform. Most courses are delivered online in a live interactive format with only a couple of sessions that require attendance at King’s Inns, which offer the ability to facilitate round-table discussions and networking opportunities. “Many of the professional development courses are designed with busy schedules in mind and offer classes either early in the morning, in the evenings or at weekends, with many sessions recorded for those unable to attend live online classes”, says Dr Brown.
