'This concise, yet almost encyclopedic collection of essays will
help readers cut through the breathtaking complexity of Brexit as
it relates to the most difficult issue of Northern Ireland. With
outstanding entries on the relevant procedures, institutions, and
concepts, as well as a host of substantive sectors, this volume
will become an indispensable legal handbook for the generation that
must now grapple with untangling the UK from Europe while keeping
further troubles at bay.' Daniel Halberstam, Eric Stein Collegiate
Professor of Law and Director of the European Legal Studies Program
at the University of Michigan Law School
'This book is an invaluable and highly readable guide to the
formidable complexities of the Protocol and its implications for
everyone living on the island of Ireland. There are many who will
talk about the Protocol, but until you read this book you cannot
really say that you fully understand it.' Gerard Hogan, Justice
Gerard Hogan, Supreme Court of Ireland, formerly Advocate General
of the Court of Justice of the European Union
'The Protocol has been a central matter of Brexit political debate.
However, it is first and foremost a legal instrument with
consequences in domestic and international law. This is the
first book on the Protocol's many legal dimensions. Bringing
together a uniquely qualified group of global experts, the book is
an important contribution to navigating the Protocol. Is at
once is the key legal text on the Protocol, a must-read for those
concerned with the political consequences of the Protocol, and a
valuable source of information in plain language, for anyone
concerned to cut through the rhetoric to understand what the
Protocol is and does.' Christine Bell, Professor of Constitutional
Law, Edinburgh School of Law, University of Edinburgh
'Brexit and the Northern Ireland Protocol have given rise to more
issues of constitutional law, the results of a complex bundle of
treaties and legislation, than any other single incident in UK
constitutional history. There is no underlying or unifying concept.
No lawyer would ever design such a complicated structure from
scratch. This book is an analysis of the most important issues. It
explains them as clearly as possible, and provides a practical and
thoughtful basis on which lawyers in the UK, in both parts of
Ireland, and the EU on which this unprecedented structure can
proceed. The courts of Northern Ireland have the great
responsibility of making it intelligible, and making it work.' John
Temple Lang, former Head of the Legal Service, of the European
Commission
'The Ireland-Northern Ireland Protocol regulates the most
contentious intersection of the UK and EU legal orders as Brexit
unfolds. This excellent volume, analysing the Protocol's legal
effect across all dimensions, will be essential reading for anyone
interested in the future of EU-UK relations.' Oran Doyle, Trinity
College Dublin
