Brehon law was produced in the vernacular language by a group of professional jurists.

Ireland had no regular central authority capable of making new law and hence the Brehon laws were entirely in the hands of the jurists.
•
Early Irish law consisted of the accumulated decisions of the Brehons, or judges, guided entirely by an oral tradition.
