The Honorable Society of King's Inns (HSKI) is the institution that controls the entry of barristers-at-law into the justice system of Ireland.
The primary focus of King’s Inns is the training of barristers. Law students who wish to take the Barrister-at-Law degree do so through the Society. They also admit graduates to the Bar of Ireland.
King’s Inn offers students both full-time and part-time training courses. King’s Inns also runs a two year part-time Diploma in Legal Studies. This is especially relevant for students who do not hold a law degree but who wish to become barristers. The course involves the study of substantive law. Graduates of the diploma are in the same position as those who have completed a law degree. They can then enter the Barrister-at-Law degree programme.
The Honorable Society of King’s Inns is the oldest institution of legal education in Ireland. It was founded in 1541 during the reign of Henry VIII. The king granted the Society the lands and properties on which the Four Courts now stand but which were then occupied by a Dominican monastery. When the Four Courts were built in the 1790s, King’s Inns moved to Constitution Hill.
