    FACULTY OF LAW A YEAR IN REVIEW 2009 Welcome to another edition of V.Alum. The handsome clock pictured on the cover of this publication adorns the apex of Old Government Building, where Victoria’s Law School is situated. It reminds us all “Tempus Fugit” and as another year finishes there could be nothing more apposite. What a year it has been. We held a celebration for Richard Boast’s success at the Montana Book Awards which was attended by a wonderful cross-section of people from the University and the city. The History Department, Crown Law, the Waitangi Tribunal, the Stout Research Centre – were but a few of the institutions represented. I said then that Richard’s work was further proof of the contribution that this Faculty makes not only to the law firms of the nation but also to the analysis of the fabric of history and the evolution of nation-building itself. The following pages resonate with such activities, which engage with the past, the present and the future: research on the criminal procedures surrounding trials of sexual offences case is side-by-side with an account of a conference which celebrated the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. From the Dean From There is much to read. I hope you enjoy it and feel as proud of it as I do.
