Administrative law specialists in New Zealand law schools are still a small band, but our ranks have been swelled by the very welcome arrival of Marcelo Rodriguez Ferrere at Otago University a few years ago, and of Eddie Clark at Victoria University last year. The latter arrived just a little too late to participate in the workshop and conference that have given rise to the present special issue, but we look forward to his contribution next time. We have also seen the publication of new editions of Graham Taylor's Judicial Review: A New Zealand Perspective, of Philip Joseph's Constitutional and Administrative Law in New Zealand and of Matthew Smith's New Zealand Judicial Review Handbook modelled on Michael Fordham's classic United Kingdom work. Even so, however, anyone who works in administrative law in New Zealand today, whether in practice or in the law schools, will still agree that there is a dearth of in-depth analysis of New Zealand developments in this area. We can always find a variety of sources illuminating the English position, including recent English cases, from a number of angles. But we all know that the New Zealand position has long ceased to be quite the same as the English, and yet there is often little written about our cases. To some extent this is unavoidable in a small jurisdiction like ours. However, it is exacerbated by the extent to which public lawyers' attention nowadays is drawn away from administrative law to issues concerning rights or international law; and by the relentless pressure on academics to publish overseas, and hence to write on overseas jurisprudence. As one contribution towards remedying this scarcity, I am very glad to present this special issue, comprising articles that were first presented at the Legal Research Foundation New Zealand Administrative Law Conference
