Let's make this birthday one to remember.

76 years old (Born on March 13, 1949)

Happy Birthday, Dame Sian Elias! From barrister to Chief Justice of New Zealand in 1999, you've certainly raised the bar—literally and figuratively. Your brief stint as Administrator of the Government in 2001 proved you can juggle roles faster than most people can pronounce "jurisprudence."

Your legacy continues to inspire countless legal minds who secretly wish they had your wit and wisdom. May your birthday be filled with laughter, joy, and perhaps fewer courtrooms—but plenty of cake. Here's hoping this year brings more memorable moments worthy of a standing ovation (or at least an enthusiastic gavel bang). Cheers!
