Law, order and liberty: Essays in honour of Tony Mathews pays
tribute to an academic and activist who has profoundly influenced
South African law through his books and journal articles on
democracy and human rights. Tony Mathews' compelling defence of the
rule of law and his unremitting championing of the cause of human
rights inspired a generation of law students and practitioners in
the darkest days of apartheid. His untimely death just prior to the
inception of constitutional democracy in South Africa deprived this
nation of one of its most incisive legal minds. In honour of
Mathews' rich intellectual legacy, Marita Carnelley and Shannon
Hoctor have assembled contributions, principally focusing on
administrative law and justice, from a number of eminent scholars -
all of whom were influenced and encouraged by his work. As the
chapters in this long-overdue book make abundantly clear, Mathews'
principled and powerful critique of the apartheid laws that negated
human rights, and eviscerated the legitimacy of the South African
legal system, remains as a monument to both his moral courage and
his legal brilliance. This tribute reminds us of the debt we owe to
Mathews and rouses us to spiritedly defend the values that he
upheld with such clarity and conviction.
