Book Description
This is an introductory textbook on the Zimbabwean legal system. It sets the stage for a comprehensive description of that legal system by opening with some theoretical issues on the nature of law in general, particularly a definition of law, the role and purpose of law in society, the relationship between law and justice and how morality impacts on law. After outlining this theoretical framework, it turns to the Zimbabwean legal system and covers the following key areas: sources of Zimbabwean law, the scope of Roman-Dutch law in Zimbabwe, the law-making process and the role of Parliament, the structure of the courts in Zimbabwe, the procedures in the civil and criminal courts, the legal aid system and the nature of the legal profession. It covers the process of appointment of judges and its effect on the independence of the judiciary. It has a long closing chapter on the interpretation of statutes covering all the rules, maxims and presumptions.

Book Description
This publication is a timely and careful response to some of the opportunities and challenges that Zimbabwe is currently facing. The contributions are an outflow from the conference held in March 2015 in Harare, entitled "Assessing Progress in the Implementation of Zimbabwe's New Constitution: National, Regional and Global Perspectives". Also by drawing from comparative perspectives, the contributors, who include policy-makers, members of the judiciary, and constitutional law experts, both Zimbabwean and international, reflect among others on the challenge of constitutional alignment, the role of the civil and security services in a constitutional democracy and the role of institutions such as independent commissions and related institutions in entrenching a democratic culture and the rule of law. This publication aims to foster an open intellectual and legal dialogue on Zimbabwe's new Constitution and what it means in daily practice for the people of Zimbabwe.

Book Description
This is a comprehensive textbook on Zimbabwean labour law. After detailing the history and purpose of the law, it offers a comprehensive review of contracts of employment, termination, the rights of organisation and association, and collective bargaining. Dispute settlement is discusses within the contexts of the right to strike, conciliation and arbitration, and the role of the courts in adjudication. State employment is treated separately, as it is governed by constitutional law as well as labour law. The book concludes with chapters covering aspects of social security in Zimbabwe, and a discussion on international labour law.

Book Description
Constitution-making is not a new phenomenon is Zimbabwean history. Over the last 31 years of its existence the sovereign nation of Zimbabwe has had one constitution and three major draft constitutions. More recently, the Law Society of Zimbabwe compiled its own model constitution. None of these constitutional drafts have been adopted formally. Zimbabwe is undergoing yet another constitution-making process that is being led by Parliament, in terms of the Interparty Political Agreement signed in September 2008 by the three major political parties represented in Parliament. This process is not being undertaken in a vacuum as these other documents already exist and are supported by different stakeholders. The three drafts that have been proposed by various stakeholders have not been formally adopted for various reasons. The Constitutional Commission draft was even the subject of a referendum, with the majority of Zimbabweans voting against its adoption as it did not subscribe to the minimum standards of constitutionalism. This publication reviews key provisions of the three major constitutional drafts (the Constitutional Commission draft, the National Commission Assembly draft and the Kariba draft) and the provisions of the current (Lancaster House) Constitution of Zimbabwe. It seeks to set out critical issues which should be addressed in any constitution under various thematic areas, and to provide guidance to a host of stakeholders--from members of the public, members of Parliament, constitutional committees, and even constitutional drafters. Since popular participation of citizens continues to remain lacking, Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human rights believes that this publication can be used as guidance on key principles and provisions that must be incorporated in a constitution for it to conform to the minimum standards of constitutionalism.--P. iii
