Court of King's Bench (Ireland)

The Court of King's Bench (of Queen's Bench when the sovereign was female, and formerly of Chief Place[1] or Chief Pleas[2]) was one of the senior courts of common law in Ireland. It was a mirror of the Court of King's Bench in England. The King's Bench was one of the "Four Courts" which sat in the building in Dublin which is still known as "The Four Courts", and is still in use.
