Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:For Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Hiberno-English Шаблон:Infobox officeholder Hugh Alexander Law (28 July 1872 – 2 April 1943) was an Irish nationalist politician.[1] He represented constituencies in County Donegal as a Member of Parliament (MP) in the British House of Commons and later as a Teachta Dála (TD) in Dáil Éireann.[2]

A barrister, he was the second son of Hugh Law, who had been Lord Chancellor of Ireland from 1881 to 1883,[3] and his wife Helen White, and was educated in England at Rugby School and University College, Oxford.[2]

He was returned as an Irish Parliamentary Party member of the Westminster parliament for West Donegal at an unopposed by-election in April 1902,[4][5] and was unopposed at successive general elections until he stood down at the 1918 general election,[5] when the seat was won by Joseph Sweeney of Sinn Féin.

A supporter of the pro-war policy of John Redmond during World War I, he held a number of administrative positions in London: in the secretariat of the Ministry of Munitions (1915–1916), the news department of the Foreign Office (1916–1918), and the advisory council of the Ministry of Reconstruction (1918).[2]

At the 1923 Irish general election he was an unsuccessful Farmers' Party candidate for the 5th Dáil in the Donegal constituency.[6] He stood again as a Cumann na nGaedheal candidate at the June 1927 general election and was elected to the 6th Dáil.[7] Law was re-elected at the September 1927 general election, but lost his seat at the 1932 general election, and did not stand again.[8]
