The Courts of Justice Act, 1924 was an Act of the Oireachtas that established the courts system of the Irish Free State pursuant to the Constitution of the Irish Free State. Amongst these courts was the Supreme Court of the Irish Free State, and the first Chief Justice of the Irish Free State was appointed on foot of the act.
The long title of the act:
- AN ACT FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF COURTS OF JUSTICE PURSUANT TO THE CONSTITUTION OF SAORSTAT EIREANN AND FOR PURPOSES RELATING TO THE BETTER ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE.
At the same time, the Dail Courts system authorised in 1919-20 was wound up in two acts of 1923 and 1925.
A new constitution, the Constitution of Ireland was enacted in 1937; however it was not until 1961 that the new courts system called for in the 1937 constitution was established.
