These ‘Pythagorean’ triples have informed both the Kenyan Family law history and practice. Kadhis’ Courts applying Islamic law of personal status have been in East Africa for over 200 years now

Denna uppsats har som övergripande mål att bidra till en bättre förståelse för hur de två fälten interagerar när stater rör sig från pågående väpnade konflikter till post-konfliktfaser.

This thesis aims to address significant barriers that hin
Presentation and analysis of three issues in the current policy and legal debate in Sweden 2014.
In this paper a baseline of contemporary access to justice research is established. The baseline clearly illustrates key features of the research field suggesting that while the field of research has become more multifaceted in the course of the last two or three decades, it is nevertheless very much dominated by law scholarship and structural analysis of legal service provision. Departing from th
The demand for security services has increased since the ending of the Cold War. Individuals and companies are dissatisfied with the police and their work methods, which has resulted in more and more people choosing other options.
