Understanding Languages of Modernization
More than most of humanity, scholars are prone to sinking their feet into the quagmire of definition. Words are unpacked, nuances of meaning are debated, and discourses are interrogated. Post-developmentalists have been at the forefront of a re-examination of the languages of development and developmentalism. Arturo Escobar, for example, states that his desire is to analyze 'regimes of discourse and representation' (1995: 10). Jonathan Crush is s…

The Journal of African Law 1957–96
This special number of the Journal of African Law has a dual function. First, commemorates 40 years of continuous production of the only learned journal devoted exclusively to African law. And secondly, it is presented as a tribute to the signal achievement of Professor James Read of the School of Oriental and African Studies in devoting himself to the study and advancement of African law, both at the School and elsewhere. The two successes run i…
What is to be done with African Customary Law
What I should like to do today is to examine the evolution of customary law in English-speaking Africa over the last three decades. I have chosen my starting date of 1950 with a clear intention in view; because the developments that we observe currently taking place often find their origins in the colonial period. They do this in two ways. First, the laws which the African countries inherited at independence had been crucially shaped by the colon…

Twenty Years on—The Journal of African Law and African Law
To launch a new journal is an act of faith; it is also an act of recognition. An act of faith, because the editors and publishers of the journal will naturally ask themselves where the readership is to come from, which is to make the journal viable. An act of recognition, because the new journal officially marks, at least in the minds of its begetters, the recognition that a new area of theoretical study or practical action has now defined itself…
The People as Law-Makers
This essay is an attempt to investigate, assess and compare the role of the “people” as makers of law in a variety of customary societies in black Africa on the one hand, and in England on the other. The studies that may have been made of this sort of question by lawyers, constitutional experts, sociologists, political scientists and the like have rarely, if ever, contrasted the law-making function of the people in the two types of society. Where…

Judicial Precedent in Africa Revisited
One of the central facts, if not the most important of all, about the general legal systems of African countries is that they are derived wholly or partly from the legal systems of foreign countries, usually those of the former colonial power, though this is by no means the only source which has been drawn upon. Thus in Commonwealth Africa there has been extensive borrowing not only from the law of England, but from British India, from the provin…

A Note on the Gã Law of Succession
So said the learned Chief Justice in the year 1912, when he held, after ‘consulting the authorities’, that ‘inheritance is not from father to son’ in Accra custom! For many years learned judges in the Gold Coast courts have expressed a similar opinion, each taking comfort as to the correctness of his decision from the words of his predecessors. This colossal pyramid of error rests on several facts:— 1. The earliest customary law with which Britis…

Native Tribunals In The Gold Coast 1844—1927
Throughout British Africa today the future of the native courts (otherwise called African, customary, or local courts) is in the melting-pot, and is the subject of much discussion and deep concern. Considerable legislative and administrative changes affecting these courts are already being made, especially in West Africa. What are to be the relations between the superior courts of a territory, predominantly administering English law, and the nati…
The Authority of English Decisions in Colonial Courts
The law of England has been introduced into colonial territories to a varying extent and by various means 3 ; as a consequence, whether adopted en bloc or piecemeal or borrowed by way of Indian law, the English law forms the major part of the law applicable in each territory, and is often the residual law which is called on in default of an express rule. But this reception of the law of England immediately raises a problem of some magnitude; to w…

Marriage and Internal Conflict of Laws in Ghana
Although the study of comparative law, or rather the study of foreign legal systems in a comparative manner, is in general of academic rather than practical value, except in so far as it gives us insights into the ideas, attitudes and procedures of our own legal system, yet for those who are concerned, as practitioner, judge or student, with certain types of legal system the position is radically different; I refer to legal systems in which inter…

The London Conference on the Future of Law in Africa, meeting at Westminster from 28th December, 1959 to 8th January, 1960, and attended by leading judicial and legal representatives from many English-speaking African countries, incidentally examined the problem of legal education in and for Africa (for which see the Conference Record, Chapter 13). The discussions were centred on the problems of East Africa, since it was here that the absence of …
Colloquium on African Law, London, June, 1961
In addition to the general discussions, opportunity was taken for special consultations with linguists at the School of Oriental and African Studies: sessions were held with them to consider problems firstly in legal translations in Africa, and secondly in interpreting in the administration of the law
Towards a Definition of “Absolute Ownership”
This draft is an attempt to meet a particular difficulty, which is likely to occur not infrequently in African countries where the present land law is dualistic in character and represents a partial amalgamation, or co-existence, of English and customary laws relating to land. Increasingly these two bodies of law will tend to draw together (as they have already done to a considerable extent in West Africa), and legislation will have to be prepare…
