Seeing the World Whole: Essays in Honour of Sir Kenneth Keith Book

Celebrating the first and only New Zealander to ever be appointed to the International Court of Justice, this collection of essays marks the key events in the life of Sir Kenneth Keith, one of New Zealand's most eminent jurists. In these essays, leading judges, academics, and practitioners reflect on Sir Kenneth Keith's contribution to the law and advance dialogue on a range of areas of legal policy. This compendium reflects Sir Kenneth's preoccupation with the connections that underlie the legal universe—between the local and the international, the past and the present, the practical and the theoretical, and the aspects of law and those of policy, history, and literature. This compilation includes contributions from the Chief Justice of New Zealand Dame Sian Elias, former Prime Minister and president of the Law Commission Sir Geoffrey Palmer, and chairperson of the Cambridge faculty of law and current New Zealand Supreme Court judge Justice Peter Blanchard.
