Ronagh McQuigg obtained a LL.B. with First Class Honours in 2002 and a LL.M. in Human Rights Law with Distinction in 2003, both from Queen’s University Belfast. She was awarded a Ph.D. in 2006, also by Queen’s University. Her Ph.D. thesis assessed the effectiveness of international human rights law through a case study of domestic violence. During her Ph.D. studies she was invited by Professor Cees Flinterman of the University of Utrecht to New York to attend meetings of the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women. In 2006 she provided research assistance on a project assessing the effectiveness of the Equality Commission in relation to Section 75 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998. Ronagh has taught Contract, Equity, Torts, European Law, Property Law, Evidence and Constitutional Law. She qualified as a solicitor in 2008, after being awarded a Certificate in Professional Legal Studies from Queen’s University and having completed her professional training with a leading commercial law firm. She is a member of the Law Society of Northern Ireland and is a peer reviewer for the Interdisciplinary Journal of Human Rights Law.
