Megan Lee* 'A full understanding of the willingness of the Irish courts to consider citations of foreign courts depends, in part, on an understanding of the unstated relationship between the Irish court and the foreign courts. - Bruce Carolan INTRODUCTION HE FOLLOWING work serves to reflect on the purpose, practical application and effects of judicial cosmopolitanism, a phenomenon at times exemplified by courts' practice of citing foreign decisions during the course of domestic litigation. The scope of this work is confined to 'domestic litigation, meaning legal proceedings that fall outside the realm of private international law. As will become evident during the course of analysis, judicial cosmopolitanism is solely concerned with disputes that stem from domestic legislation from within the same jurisdiction. * Megan Lee, LL.B.
