This book captures the speeches and writings of one of Botswana’s foremost legal minds on a wide array of topics. The topics cover issues of human rights, constitutionalism and the rule of law. Justice Dingake’s writings reflect a mind of a jurist that believes in the power of law to change lives for the better. However, the speeches and writings also teach that the power of law as a tool of change, although useful, should never be exaggerated.
