  Chief Justice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 CHIEF JUSTICE WARNER
Chief Justice Warner was known as a judge who could, respectfully but quickly, cut a clear path through the thicket of detail, procedure, and argument to the essence of the matter before him.
Chief Justice Warner was personally inventive about the adoption of new devices to tackle the pile of cases, and receptive to the suggestions of his Associate Justices.
Justice Warner was sworn in as Chief Justice of this Court on December 28, 1989, succeeding Chief Justice John Greaney who was appointed to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court.

 Talk about your overrated jobs. By Dahlia Lithwick - Slate Magazine
The formal powers of the chief justice don't sound all that enticing: He or she is essentially like a glorified Alice on the Brady Bunch—getting to do all the administrative grunt work with which no one else would possibly want to be bothered.
As chief justice, William Howard Taft (1921-1930) espoused the same philosophy: Dissents fostered an appearance of uncertainty and were only a form of egotism anyhow, in his view.
Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes (chief from 1930-1941) regarded his opinion-assignment power as "a special opportunity for leadership" and, as a consequence, his "most delicate task." It doesn't sound like a big deal, but consider Warren Burger, chief justice from 1969 to 1986.

His father served as surgeon to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and to members of the British Royal Family on their visits to Ireland but despite his privileged position in Irish society Emmet, like many of his contemporaries, was attracted to revolutionary republican politics.

It is to perpetuate a situation that has been created by a British Act, with the exception that in future the Chief Justice of the Saorstát is to dispense patronage instead of the Lord Chief Justice of Ireland.
The Chief Justice is to be handed the right to nominate that person and, therefore, the right to obtain this salary or fee that is provided.
My suggestion is, that it is better not to have that power in the hands of the Chief Justice; it is not a judicial function and it should be in the hands of one of the Ministers of State.

This gave the Chief Justice an opening for a deliverance in which he told the jury not to pay attention to the statement so properly objected to, and, if necessary, he would reserve for another court the point whether it had unduly affected their minds.
Wherefore the Lord Chief Justice weightily told him the facts, and that they were no trifles, for a postmistress-ship in Clare, his native county, was blocked by St. Martin's-le-Grand.

It bodes well for the future of law and legal education in Ireland that students are beginning to publish and that the tradition of the 'law review', so strong in American law schools, is beginning to establish itself here.
It is also encouraging to see that students are willing to enthusiastically tackle such important, complex and diverse subjects as the vital topic of human rights (particularly those of women and children), knotty questions of jurisprudence and the new legal questions thrown up by the advent of widespread computer networks.

 Francis BRYAN (Lord Chief Justice of Ireland)
Sir Thomas Bryan, chief justice of common pleas, died in 1500 holding lands in Buckinghamshire and seven other counties stretching from Kent to Yorkshire.
Bryan's marriage to the widow of the 9th Earl of Ormond was probably a political match designed to prevent her marriage to the Desmond heir, a union which in the event it merely postponed.
In Nov 1548 Bryan arrived in Dublin to take up the office of lord marshal: a year later he was made lord justice pending the arrival of a new lord deputy to replace Sir Edward Bellingham, who had resented his appointment, but on 2 Feb 1550 he died suddenly at Clonmel from an unknown cause.
