Administration of justice, South Africa, Ireland 

"In this volume, members of the judiciary and academics from South Africa and Ireland discuss a range of themes. Under four headings - the judicial role, the criminal law process, the European dimension and social and political dimensions - such diverse issues as judicial education, the right to bail, the impact of domestic incorporation of the European Convention on Human Rights and the role of the new African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights are addressed, with a special focus on Irish law and South African law."--BOOK JACKET.
