Integrating aspects of justice into curriculum is a welcome and necessary challenge for Christian course designers. This is especially true in the case of legal education in the developing world. The Faculty of Law at Uganda Christian University incorporates Biblical justice principles into its courses in various ways ranging from the practical to the theoretical.

This paper surveys justice education strategies and techniques employed within four course subjects offered to law students at Uganda Christian University: (1) “Introduction to the Bible for Lawyers” introduces the students to God’s heart for justice, presents a wide variety of justice issues from a Biblical context, and begins the justice conversation in the classroom though the use of simple and thought-provoking vignettes; (2) The “Jurisprudence” provides students with wide philosophical perspectives on the nature of justice that are assessed through a Christian lens; (3) “Law and Christian Political Thought in Africa” offers students an opportunity to test and apply theoretical approaches to justice to their present political environment through reading, writing, presenting and class discussion; (4) “Clinical Legal Education” allows students to act on justice principles through community outreach and clinical legal work dedicated to justice-based causes.

Legal ethics and professionalism are at thecore of legal practice. Advocates must know the requirements of the profession. In addition, being an ethical and professional advocate is about more than following rules. The ethical path a lawyer chooses defines their career and identity. This book is written with both the law student and the legal practitioner in mind. It offers a series of topical chapters addressing matters essential to professional advocacy.

Topics range from the advocate-client relationship to judicial ethics. The contributing authors come from all walks of egal life. From professors to judges, from private practitioners to prosecutors, the perspectives of the authors cut across a wide range of experiences. These authors do more than state the law. The authors raise cutting edge issues and look forward to future challenges. The end result is an invaluable resource to present and future members of the Ugandan Bar.
