In this essential book, Sir Kenneth Keith draws on the entirety of his illustrious career as a lawyer, teacher, judge and judicial reformer.
Without Fear or Favour begins with fundamentals: who does what and how, the sources of law nationally and internationally, constitutional principles and values, and time and the law.
Keith then moves on to consider the growth (and retreat) of the law, with chapters on the roles of international law in our constitutional and legal system, te Tiriti o Waitangi, bringing law to bear on governments, and protecting human rights.
Part three considers the law of negligence and piracy, the actions of public authorities, the disclosure and protection of information, the writing and reading of law, and litigating and judging.
Finally, Keith turns to the future. What roles will the legal academy, the law and lawyers play as we face the major challenges ahead?
