dc.description.abstractOne of the consequences of colonial rule in substantial part of Africa was the Received English Law. This law was not only alien to the cultural orientation of the African people but significantly compromised the cherished traditional African Justice System, by subjecting amongst others, the customary rules to ‘validity’ test. The colonial approach of planting the United Kingdom legal system into the colonized territories without considering the cultural values and peculiarities of the indigenous people has caused huge historical legal imbalances.This research reviewes the traditional African justice system prior to the arrival of the received English law; during colonialism and in the post-colonial era with particular emphasis on the 21st century law teaching at Kampala International University. The research recommends a unified approach aimed at marrying the inherited legal system with the traditional Africa justice system with a view of bringing out an efficient and acceptable legal system which will reflect the needs and values of the African people.en_US
