- Description: South Africa does not have a particularly proud history. Marred by the politics of separate but (un)equal treatment of its people, the country's past political system has had a damaging effect in all spheres, but specifically on that of the family. In the context of relationships, it is fair to say that the apartheid system was replicated in family law, with the Western 'white' monogamous marriage receiving the state's stamp of approval - leaving other relationships (customary, Muslim, homosexual, cohabiting etc) largely out in the cold.

A South African response to ethics in legal education

- Description: The contributions in this volume suggest that "the ethics project in legal education" is increasingly an international one. Even though the strength of commitment by both the profession and the legal academy to "ethics learning" within law schools varies, two fundamental questions confront all who work in this area. First, what is it that we want our students to learn (or, perhaps, in what manner do we want our students to develop) from the teaching of "legal ethics"? Second, how can we create a learning environment that will encourage the nature and quality of learning we think is important?.
