Biography:
Darius Whelan received his BCL Degree in 1986 from University College Dublin and then completed an LL.M. thesis, also at UCD,
on 'The Comparative Method and Law Reform' in 1990. He was called to the Bar in 1988 and his Ph.D. was conferred by Trinity
College Dublin in 2000 for a thesis on the topic 'Criminal Procedure and Mental Health'. He runs the Irish Law e-mail discussion
group and the Irish Law Site (www.irishlaw.org), which is hosted at UCC. His research interests include Mental Health Law and Internet Regulation. He is Director of UCC’s

I welcome inquiries from students interested in undertaking a Ph.D. in one of my areas of interest, for example Mental Health
Law, Internet Law or Employment Law.
