FACULTYFACULTY OFOF LALAWW A YEARYEAR ININ REVIEWREVIEW 20122012

Welcome to another edition of V.Alum ACH YEAR FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS it has been my privilege to E introduce you to our year’s work and the many achievements of our staff and students. I am always compelled to state how proud I am of those achievements and you, as readers, are within your rights to think ‘He would say that, wouldn’t he?’ (as Mandy Rice Davies said of a witness to the judge of her trial).

This year is a little different. The work and talent of this Faculty has been judged in the QS World University Rankings by Subject, a global ranking that compares universities across 29 individual disciplines. The ranking features over 600 universities from 27 countries in the world, using more than 50,000 responses from academics and employers, and is the largest survey of its kind to date.

The Faculty of Law at Victoria ranked highest in law for a New Zealand university, in the top five of law faculties in Australasia and 23rd in the world. It is wonderfully satisfying to have all the hard work, persistence and sheer talent of my colleagues recognised.

On a more domestic note, our students feel the same way. In a survey of “Student Experience” conducted by Victoria University, we scored 89% in terms of satisfaction with their experience of this Faculty. This result is also rewarding in a different way. Our students are our ambassadors and a reflection of our core values and abilities. James G. Stewart, who

From the Dean graduated in 2000, this year had an article cited by the majority in the International Criminal Court’s first judgment. He says: “It was started in the lonely halls of Victoria’s Law Library all those years ago.”

Internationalism is an inherent part of this Faculty and its place in the capital. No-one illustrated this unique combination of local and global thinking better than Jeremy Pope, whose obituary we publish, along with other distinguished alumni. Jeremy’s funeral was extraordinary. It was held in beautiful Old St Paul’s and this country’s legal community gathered to mourn his passing. We heard messages from all over the world, including ones from George Soros, Sonny Ramphal, Mr Justice Kirby and several African Chief Justices.

We can all be proud of the contribution this Faculty and its alumni make in the world.

She died in February, 2012. Helen’s friends and colleagues from the Pacific have mourned her death as representing “the loss of an extremely talented barrister whose affection and advocacy for things Pacific and in particular all things Samoan was very much woven into her life as it was for her family. A gentle woman of humanity and grace she was passionate about equity, fairness and justice and represented her clients with skill, commitment and an extraordinary application”. Helen’s affinity with the countries of the Pacific and her knowledge of their law had its origins in her childhood years in Fiji. Professor Aikman was Vice-Chancellor of the University of the South Pacific and a distinguished constitutional lawyer who, during his career, worked extensively on the constitutional arrangements of several Pacific countries.

The school was closed by the Delhi government and Shabnam, and her husband, Jugnu, decided to set up a similar school for rural youth in Katna, West Bengal. But in 2005, just before the school was to open, Jugnu died of a heart attack leaving Shabnam to run it single-handedly. In earlier years, Helen’s family had donated to Shabnam’s charity but they had since lost contact.

JEREMY POPE, ONZM 1933-2012 EREMY POPE was a remarkable man. He was Jborn in Wellington on 9 October, 1938, one of three children born to Quentin Pope and Isabel McLennan. His father was a journalist and a poet, writing for the New York Times and the Chicago Herald tribune as their New Zealand correspondent. After WW2, Quentin Pope became a roving international correspondent and one can’t help but think this may have been a significant influence on a son whose innate sense of internationalism was lifelong and prescient. Jeremy attended St Peter’s prep school in Cambridge, Waikato, and Wanganui Collegiate. After secondary school, he studied law at Victoria and in 1963 married Diana Miller and was admitted to the bar. Following a few years in legal practice, Diana and Jeremy travelled overseas. When they returned to New Zealand, they produced the Mobil Guides to the North and South Islands, based on the Michelin Guides that had helped them in their travels abroad. The Mobil Guides were a huge success, with over 200,000 copies sold over 30 years and the Popes initiated all manner of law reform projects and So it was a special privilege to be able to assist receiving an award for an outstanding made Marlborough House a hive of optimism for him in a small way, when his time at the contribution to travel in New Zealand. what law could achieve to improve the lives of Secretariat came to an end, to discuss his own Jeremy was appointed Editor of the New Zealand ordinary people in Commonwealth countries. possible future direction with Transparency Law Journal in the 1970s and in 1978 resigned to Jeremy’s contribution was not purely legal.
