About Contours of Justice: Cases, Crises and the Quest for Judicial AutonomyThis book systematically analyzes the historical and systemic failures of Sierra Leone‘s judiciary. Divided into three rigorous parts, the work first deconstructs key landmark cases, including disputes over citizenship, political treason, and the limits of free expression, to illuminate the profound impact of political interference and miscarriages of justice.
The second section critically examines institutional bottlenecks, such as the constraints of locus standi and pervasive case delays. The concluding part advocates for concrete, evidence-based reforms designed to foster genuine judicial independence, enhance accountability, and strengthen democratic governance.
While grounded in the context of Sierra Leone, the institutional critiques and proposed solutions offer crucial comparative insights for common law judiciaries throughout the Commonwealth.
