Course Description

What is the rule of law? And how can you create it in places that do not possess it? This course will explore these questions with a focus on constitutional law and politics in the Southern African region. One of the course's co-instructor is a Zimbabwean human rights lawyer with a wealth of experience attempting to use the law to bring about positive change in places where rule of law is weak. The course will seek to relate theories on the rule of law to these practical realities on the ground.
