Four Courts Press About Four Courts Press was founded in 1970 by Michael Adams (see below) as a small press. From 1992, Four Courts Press expanded rapidly from its theology base, first into Celtic and Medieval Studies and Ecclesiastical History, and then into Modern History, Art, Literature and Law. The Press publishes some 40 titles a year. At present there are over 800 titles in print. Our books are available worldwide, either directly via our website or through an extensive chain of bookstores, libraries and book wholesalers. Important: Query first.
