Challenge and Change : Judging in Aotearoa New Zealand

Challenge and Change: Judging in Aotearoa New Zealand is a study of the role and work of judges in New Zealand from the earliest days down to present. Authored by leading judges, legal academics, and practitioners, deriving from a seminar devised by Chief Justice Winkelmann and Justice Kos P for the Institute of Judicial Legal Studies.

Its focus is on how judges have dealt with social, demographic, and economic change, and the difficulties they have faced with the Legislature and the Executive. The book is split in to four parts each exploring in depth an important topic, but written to be accessible and of interest and value, to a wide range of readers.
