Sir Robin Cooke
No full textThis article is a tribute to Sir Robin Cooke after his death in 2006. Even though Sir Robin was an international figure of great renown, the author notes that the death of Sir Robin was felt more personal throughout Victoria University of Wellington's Faculty of Law. The article outlines Sir Robin's expertise and deep concern for the tradition of the common law, his admirable work ethic, and his passion for cricket
Human Rights in Hong Kong
No full textIn this address to the UNDR commemorative seminar in April 1998 Lord Cooke speaks of human rights, his current judicial roles and the prospects for a common law of the world. Lord Cooke discusses the importance of human rights law in both substance and implementation. The author reports on the process of implementing constitutional law and human rights in New Zealand, Samoa, the Republic of Fiji, the United Kingdom, and Hong Kong. 
How can the configuration of dialysis centres encourage shared care?
No full textBased on the responses of 74 interviews from 7 dialysis centres, Ian Davison, Sandra Cooke and Robin Gutteridge argue that shared care shouldn't just be seen as a stepping-stone to home haemodialysis. Reasons for this include increased job satisfaction of nursing staff and ultimately more patients dialysing at home. Six organisational recommendations are made to promote vibrant shared care environment

Balbaridae Kear and Cooke 2001
No full text† Balbaridae Kear and Cooke, 2001 CONTENTS: † Balbaroo and † Ganawamaya. STEM AGE: 27.7 Mya (95% HPD: 23.6–32.1 Mya). CROWN AGE: 22.5 Mya (95% HPD: 18.7–27.3 Mya). UNAMBIGUOUS CRANIODENTAL SYNAPOMORPHIES: Mandible usually with two or more mental foramina (char. 98: 0→1; ci = 0.063), distinct posterolingual cusp on semi- or fully sectorial P3 present (char. 125: 0→1; ci = 0.200); principal labial and lingual cusps of upper molars connected by well-developed lophs (char. 144: 1→2; ci = 0.200); and midpoints of protoloph and metaloph connected by a “midlink” (char. 145: 0→1; ci = 0.500) COMMENTS: The first balbarids to be described, namely † Balbaroo camfieldensis and † B. gregoriensis, were originally referred to Macropodidae based largely on their fully lophodont molars (Flannery et al., 1983). However, Cooke (1997a, 1997 b, 1997c) showed that balbarids and macropodids appear to have evolved lophodonty independently, and Kear and Cooke (2001) subsequently recognized † Balbaridae as a distinct family. The position of † Balbaridae has varied in published morphological and total-evidence phylogenetic analyses, and the family has not always been recovered as monophyletic (Kear et al., 2007; Kear and Pledge, 2008; Black et al., 2014c; Travouillon et al., 2014b, 2015 a, 2016; Cooke et al., 2015; Butler et al., 2016, 2018; Cascini et al., 2019). However, both of our total-evidence analyses (figs. 32, 33) support balbarid monophyly. A position for † Balbaridae outside Macropodidae + Potoroidae in our dated analysis (fig. 33) is due to the use of topological constraints required to calibrate selected nodes within Macropodiformes. These constraints may have influenced the character optimizations that indicate that presence of welldeveloped lophs connecting the principal labial and lingual cusps of the upper molars, and the presence of a midlink connecting these lophs, are both unambiguous synapomorphies of † Balbaridae. Nevertheless, these optimizations are congruent with Cooke’s (1997a, 1997 b, 1997c) hypothesis that balbarids acquired fully lophodont molars independently of macropodids. Balbarids were relatively diverse during the late Oligocene, but appear to have declined in diversity from the early Miocene onward, with their last records coming from the late middle or early late Miocene (Faunal Zone D) Encore site at Riversleigh World Heritage area (Butler et al., 2017).Published as part of Beck, Robin M.
