    - Professor Cheryl Saunders, Professor of Law, University of Melbourne.

  • Constitutional Law of South Africa is an indispensable companion to the text, history, theory and judicial interpretation of the Constitution of South Africa. In remarkable depth and detail, the book explains how the workings of this modern constitution reflects the lessons learned during two centuries of global experimentation with constitutional democracy as well as the unique history of South Africa."

  • "... serves alike the needs of demanding practitioner and critical scholar, and is the first book on the Constitution that every qualified lawyer, whether public law specialist, generalist or academic must acquire.”
    “Constitutional Law of South Africa remains the most comprehensive and useful commentary on the South African Constitution. It is simply indispensable for any legal practitioner, every legal academic and every court, and also for everyone whose work in some way involves interpretation and application of the Constitution.”
    - Professor AJ van der Walt, Stellenbosch University

  • 'I unreservedly commend this entirely new edition. The 1st edition established itself, both locally and internationally, as the leading comprehensive treatise on the revolutionary new Constitution. This new edition, embodying the contributions of leading local and foreign scholars, offers a deep and comprehensive exposition of the Constitution and the first ten years' jurisprudence under it. It serves alike the needs of demanding practitioner and critical scholar, and is the first book on the Constitution that every qualified lawyer, whether public law specialist, generalist or academic must acquire.’
    - Laurie Ackermann, Emeritus Justice of the Constitutional Court

  • “A remarkably comprehensive work by an outstanding panel of contributors. It represents optimum blend between a sound analysis of the relevant principles and their practical application into real life contexts. This treatise will be indispensable, not only to constitutional lawyers but to everyone engaged in the practice of law.”
    - Michael Katz, Edward, Nathan & Friedland Inc. Attorneys
