On October 11-13, 2018 at the Biannual Conference of the African Network of Constitutional Lawyers (ANCL) lawyers with an interest in African constitutionalism met in Gaborone, Botswana to discuss issues related to ‘Courts, Power, and Constitutional Law in Africa’.
The conference turned out to be yet another occasion where members of the Department’s community showcased their shared research interests.
