Building on the tradition built by social science studies of African law during the colonial period, Opolot (administration of justice, Texas Southern U.) explores contemporary administration of courts in Sub-Saharan Africa from both descriptive and prescriptive perspectives. He outlines the concepts and paradigms which have been used in the establishment and administration of the judiciary and, based on his analysis, offers examples of corrective steps. He finds considerable variation among the various judiciaries, but argues that abuse of the judiciary has led to the widespread emergence of cynicism on the part of the masses and that the judiciary should be more willing to engage in limiting unconstitutional actions by their respective executive branches.
