    Robin Cooke Lecture

    The Cooke lecture is given in honour of the late Lord Cooke of Thorndon, a Law School alumnus who is widely considered New Zealand’s most eminent jurist.

    Lord Cooke, ONZ, KBE, QC, PC (9 May 1926 – 30 August 2006) was born in Wellington, attended Wanganui Collegiate School, and graduated with an LLM degree from Victoria. He subsequently studied at Clare College, Cambridge as a Research Fellow. While on a travelling scholarship, Lord Cooke was awarded a MA degree in 1954 from Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge and subsequently, a PhD degree in 1955.

    He practised law in New Zealand for almost 20 years and was appointed a QC in 1964. In 1972 he was appointed as a Judge of what was then the Supreme Court, now the High Court. In 1976 he was elevated to the New Zealand Court of Appeal, which at that time was the highest court in the country. In 1986 he was appointed as President of that Court, a position he was to hold for the next 10 years. He is the only New Zealand judge to have sat in the House of Lords of the United Kingdom.

    Now a firm tradition at the Faculty of Law, the Robin Cooke lecture continues to be the pinnacle of the calendar of events and is generously supported by the Cooke family.
