The Golden Metwand and the Crooked Cord Essays in Honour of Sir William Wade

This is a lively collection of essays by an internationally distinguished group of the world's most respected administrative lawyers. Written in honor of eminent legal scholar Sir William Wade, this timely work takes into account a period of unprecedented expansion in the judicial review jurisdiction and the growing legal impact of membership of the European Community as well as a recent burgeoning of theoretical public law scholarship. The contributors reflect on the international dimension of administrative law issues and assess how public law doctrine and scholarship will progress into the new millennium.

Dr Christopher Forsyth is a Fellow and Tutor in Law at Robinson College Cambridge and co-author if the seventh edition of Wade's Administrative Law. Ivan Hare is a graduate of London and Oxford Universities, a Fellow of Trinity College Cambridge and University lecturer in Law.
