Judges
This book discusses the work of judges, highlighting judicial values that are essential for earning and retaining public confidence in the judiciary. These values include independence, impartiality, integrity, propriety, equality, competence and diligence. These core values, commonly referred to as ‘Bangalore Principles of Judicial Conduct’ were agreed upon by the Judicial Integrity Group in Bangalore, India, in February 2001. In 2003, the United Nations Human Rights Commission (UNHRC) endorsed the above principles, considered amongst common and civil law jurisdictions as the authoritative statement on the values that should inform judicial conduct. Judges must be independent and imparti...
Lawyers
This book primarily covers legal professional ethics and court etiquette relevant to the duty of a lawyer in the major legal systems of the world. It emphasizes the point that lawyers must not only practice their craft with absolute integrity but should also be well behaved and civil to each other, the courts and other court users. Lawyers are first and foremost officers of the court; it is their duty to assist the court come to a proper and just determination of the issues in dispute, serving before the court. A lawyer’s duty to the court includes candour, honesty, and fairness. Lawyers, especially in an adversarial system, are required to act professionally with scrupulous fairness and i...
Towards a People's Constitution for Botswana
Towards a People’s Constitution for Botswana proposes a transformative constitution for Botswana; a constitution that will have in its new bill of rights not only civil and political rights but socio-economic and cultural rights too. A constitution that will enhance the independence of Parliament and the Judiciary amongst other pillars of democracy. In this book, Judge Dingake acknowledges that although Botswana’s first constitution has served the country well, the time has now arisen for a new constitution that is consistent with the aspirations of the people to live under vibrant, participatory and accountable government of the people by the people. The book sets out in clear terms the constitution-making process that must be followed and the principles that must be enshrined in the new constitution. As a comparison, the book reflects on the constitution-making processes of some countries in Africa, such as South Africa, Namibia, Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
In Pursuit of Justice
This book discusses the intersection of philosophy, politics and law and how judges’ ideological outlook may influence the decision of the court. The author teases out the underlying influences that drive judges to decide matters in a particular way, especially in highly-contentious legal questions that have far-reaching national consequences, such as in cases of abortion, euthanasia and same-sex marriage. The book interrogates, in the most thought-provoking manner, the question of whether a judge’s background, values and education matter at all in the adjudicatory process. Whilst the author concedes the point that a judge must respect the chains that bind him as a judge, he also makes t...
A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO UNFAIR DISMISSAL LAW IN BOTSWANA
This book discusses the law related to unfair dismissal in Botswana. It makes it clear that an employer is not free to dismiss an employee whenever they feel like doing it. The law requires that an employee may only be dismissed for a valid reason, and even then a fair procedure must be followed. It follows from the above that a dismissal would be unfair if there is no valid reason or fair procedure or both. The principle of ‘fairness’ is unique to labour law and does not necessarily apply to other areas of the law such as the law of contract. Misconduct is the most common reason for dismissal, but there are also other grounds such as poor performance at work, redundancy, incompatibility and incapacity, which attract their own requirements. This book, by a former leading judge of the Industrial Court of Botswana, is easily the most authoritative on the subject to date in the context of Botswana. It is a useful practical guide to employees, employers, trade unions, employers; organizations, HR practitioners and law students.

Ageing Populations and Changing Labour Markets
Talk of a demographic time bomb is not new. The notion first entered public consciousness some time ago, but there is a lack of clarity about what such talk is really all about. Ageing populations are seen both as a threat and an opportunity. There is concern about discrimination against older workers, at the same time as there is concern about a shortage of labour. Migration of labour from places with young populations to places with ageing populations is sometimes seen in a positive light and sometimes quite differently. With chapters reflecting different perspectives from around the world, this book constitutes a major contribution to serious, informed debate on issues that all too often ...
