Abstract
This piece provides an insight into various contributions made by participants at the Law and Development Conference 2017. Participants converged in Cape Town, South Africa in September 2017 from institutions in different parts of Africa, as well as from other continents to deliberate on the theme of law and development from African perspectives. Over six panels of presentations, contributors wove a collective tapestry of reflections, critiques, debates and ideas showing the intersectionality of different fields of law in constructing, shaping and re-defining multiple development pathways for various constituencies. These discourses present a matrix of needful conditions, content and uses of law for its optimal application to development processes in and for the continent of Africa.
