The late Chief justice of South Africa, Pius Langa, was a
remarkable man. He achieved so much in his life and touched many
people with his quiet dignity, his generosity and his sparkling
humour. As a lawyer, he had a profound impact on the establishment
of South Africa's new democracy and the adoption of the country's
Constitution. Through his work on the Constitutional court, he
charted a path that would allow the country to reach what he called
the 'vision of the Constitution'. As a man, he served as an example
to many: He was strong, committed, empathetic, thoughtful and kind.
A transformative justice: Essays in honour of Pius Langa and Acta
Juridica 2015 pay tribute to this remarkable man and lawyer. The
book has three sections: first, a series of personal tributes to
Justice Langa; second, reflections on the work of the
Constitutional court under Langa's leadership as well as aspects of
his philosophy as a judge; and third, explorations of a variety of
specific themes in his judgments, writings and speeches. The
contributions to A transformative justice are written by eminent
judges, academics and practitioners, many of whom worked closely
with Langa. The book addresses a broad range of practical and
theoretical topics, including transformative constitutionalism,
judicial dissent, the role of the people in constitutionalism, and
legal education, as well as the areas of customary law, contract
law, delict, administrative law, criminal law and procedure, and
the protection of rights to equality, freedom of religion and
culture.
