Name and history
editThe chair is named after Richard Tuohill Reid (1823–83), an Irish lawyer and academic who was Perry Professor in Jurisprudence at Elphinstone College, a constituent college of the University of Bombay (now the University of Mumbai). Reid bequeathed £25,000 in trust to Irish education.[1]
The chair was established initially in 1888 as Reid Professor of Penal Legislation, Constitutional and Criminal Law, and the Law of Evidence. This was amended to its current name by the High Court on 3 March 1975.
