Chief Justice of Connacht
The Chief Justice of Connacht was the senior of the two or three judges who assisted the Lord President of Connaught in judicial matters. Despite the Chief Justice's title, full judicial powers were vested in the Lord President when the office was established in 1569. Ralph Rokeby was appointed the first Chief Justice of Connacht, with Robert Dillon as his second justice. Rokeby found his principal duty as Chief Justice, the introduction of the common law into Connacht, to be a thankless task, writing gloomily to the Government in London that the people of the province "are not willing to embrace justice".
