The proposed book, Constitutional Reasoning in Africa, seeks to provide a comprehensive examination of the reasoning practices employed by various constitutional and supreme courts across the African continent. By analyzing the decisions of 15 constitutional courts, the African Court of Justice and Human Rights, the African Commission on Human Rights, the SADC Court, and the ECOWAS Court, this volume aims to contribute to a constructive and well-informed debate on the nature of judicial reasoning in Africa. Through the systematic analysis of over 600 leading cases, the book will illuminate the methods and concepts favored by these courts, revealing the intricacies of judicial reasoning within diverse legal traditions.
This call for chapters invites legal scholars, practitioners, and researchers to contribute to the forthcoming book, Constitutional Reasoning in Africa; An Empirical Analysis of Judicial Practices Across 20 Courts which aims to explore the diverse reasoning practices of constitutional and supreme courts across the African continent. We seek original, high-quality chapters that provide in-depth analyses of judicial reasoning within the context of specific courts or legal traditions in Africa. The deadline for chapter proposals is 15th January 2025*, and selected contributors will be notified by 15th March, 2025. We look forward to receiving your contributions and to advancing the understanding of constitutional reasoning in Africa through this collaborative effort.
