The 1960s, in retrospect, may be chiefly remembered for the
unprecedented constitutional developments it witnessed in countries
emerging from colonial rule. Originally published in 1963, an
examination of these constitutional developments from the
authoritative pens of the previous Legal Adviser to the Colonial
and Commonwealth Relations Offices, and the Legal Adviser to the
Colonial Office at the time was, therefore, particularly timely -
for no two men in human history can have had to draft so many
constitutional instruments. One after another of these new
constitutions had, moreover, included certain 'Fundamental Rights',
so a discussion of this subject by a recognised academic authority,
together with an examination by an ex-Chief Justice of Allahabad of
the constitutional writs which have been so widely used in India to
protect these rights, was particularly appropriate. An erudite
examination of the origins of the famous phrase 'Justice, Equity
and Good Conscience' by the Reader in Oriental Laws in the
University of London, fittingly concludes the first half of this
volume. Legal developments in these emergent countries, had,
however, by no means been limited to the sphere of constitutional
law. So the series continues with contributions on the legal
profession in African territories, by a former President of the Law
Society, and on the problems posed by Islamic law in that
continent, by the Professor of Oriental Laws. Criminal Law is
represented by a consideration of 'Liability under the Nigerian
Criminal Code' by an ex-Chief Justice of the Western Region;
matters economic and sociological by papers on 'Legal Development
and Economic Growth in Africa' and 'Women's Status and Law Reform'
by two experts in Africa law; and developments in Asia by an
examination of recent legislation on family law in Pakistan, and of
the sources of Chinese Law in Hong Kong, by other members of the
staff of the School of Oriental and African Studies.
