"Recent decades have seen a wave of land law reforms across Africa, in the context of a 'land rush' and land grabbing. But how has this been enacted on the ground and, in particular, how have women experienced this? This book seeks to re-orientate current debates on women's land rights towards a focus on the law in action. Centring on cases involving women litigants, the book considers the extent to which women are realising their interests in land through land courts and follows the progression of women's claims to land - from their social origins through processes of dispute resolution to judgment"--Unedited summary from book cover.

Countries undergoing or recovering from conflict and authoritarianism often face profound rule of law challenges. The law on the statute books may be repressive, judicial independence may be compromised, and criminal justice agencies may be captured by powerful interests. How do lawyers working within such settings imagine the law? How do they understand their ethical obligations towards their clients and the rule of law? What factors motivate them to use their legal practice and social capital to challenge repressive power? What challenges and risks can they face if they do so? And when do lawyers facilitate or acquiesce to illegality and injustice? Drawing on over 130 interviews from Cambodia, Chile, Israel, Palestine, South Africa, and Tunisia, this book explores the extent to which theoretical understandings within law and society research on the motivations, strategies, tactics, and experiences of lawyers within democratic states apply to these more challenging environments.

This unique work examines themes of human rights, constitutionalism, and the role of the judiciary from an Irish and Tanzanian perspective. Several of Ireland's greatest legal minds have come together with their colleagues in Tanzania to produce this book, which examines a range of issues, including: constitutional rights * women and the law * gender and the law * minority rights * property rights * judicial review * procedure, electoral law * Tribunals of inquiry * environmental protection * media freedom * freedom of expression * judicial independence * judicial activism * the right to a fair trial. The editor notes that "it is fascinating to see how global values impact on national legal systems and how, so often, judges in Tanzania and Ireland, with different constitutional structures, have crafted similar solutions."
