Description:	The work presented in this book and the research on which it is based started innocently, perhaps even obliquely. It was 1989 and the movement that would later morph into the so-called third wave of the transition to democracy in Africa was yet to ignite. For a long time prior to then, I had wondered why the various institutions that we had inherited from or that were bequeathed to us by British colonialism did not work in our land the way they do in the country (and others like it) from which they have come to us. My concerns were quite catholic in scope. But the immediate concern that led me to seek assistance toward a research agenda turned on the career of law in Commonwealth Africa.
