An Introduction to Namibian Law

<p>The author of this book Prof. S.K. Amor is Acting Director of the Justice Training Centre and lecturer at the University of Namibia. The writing of this book was inspired mainly by the fact that despite Namibia's independence in 1990 Namibian legal practitioners academics and students lecturing and studying law at the University of Namibia (UNAM) still do not have a truly Namibian reference book. Instead they rely heavily on legal literature from South Africa and other countries.</p><p><em>An Introduction to Namibian Law</em> is an attempt to bridge this gap by introducing law academics lecturers and students to the most important aspects of Namibian law. It explains the origin of the country's law and looks at the various influences over the years.</p><p>The book contains material covered in various UNAM courses such as Jurisprudence Introduction to Cases Comparative Law Constitutional and Administrative Law Interpretation of Statutes and Civil and Criminal Procedure. It also contains various extracts in support of legal arguments in which legal concepts are illustrated and thoroughly explained as well as sample legal forms. Full accounts of certain cases are included to give students of Namibian law a depth of understanding of how Namibian law has been applied over the years. </p>
