Abstract

On 13 March 1992, Judge Stewart Hancock, Associate Judge of the New York Court of Appeals, visited the New Zealand Court of Appeal. This article contains brief remarks that Sir Robin made on the occasion. He comments that, although the focus is often on the Supreme Court of the United States, the guardians of the common law are the State courts. These courts largely develop the common law themselves, and, in this context, are in no way under the control of, or subject to review by, the Supreme Court. Sir Robin describes the New York Court of Appeals as a “leader among the American State appellate courts” and welcomes Judge Hancock to the New Zealand Court of Appeal. Sir Robin’s remarks were followed by remarks Mr James Farmer QC and then by Judge Hancock himself, also recorded in this paper.

Keywords: Lord Cooke, Judge Stewart Hancock, New York Court of Appeals, James Farmer QC, Supreme Court of the United States, State Courts
