Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the waning days of colonialism in Papua New Guinea, much of the rhetoric from local leaders pushing for self-determination focused on replacing the imposed colonial legal system with one that reflected local customs, understandings, relationships, and dispute settlement techniques-in other words, a "uniquely Melanesian jurisprudence." After independence in 1975, however, that aim faded or began to be seen as an impossible objective, and PNG is left with a largely Western legal system. In this book, the authors-who were all directly involved in law teaching, law reform, and judging during that period-explore the potent and enduring grip of colonialism on law and politics long after the colonial regime has been formally disbanded. Combining original historical and legal research, engagement with the scholarly literature of dependency theory and postcolonial studies, and personal observation, interviews, and experience, Making Law in Papua New Guinea offers compelling insights into the many reasons why postcolonial nations remain imprisoned in colonial laws, institutions, and attitudes"--

Download or read book Introduction to Our Laws written by James Litai and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-12-14 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the basics of law in Papua New Guinea, and it targets upper secondary legal studies teachers and students. Everyone in this country, including the educated, other than lawyers needs to know and understand our own laws. The National Education Departments motto is Prosperity through self-reliance; thus, this project is one out of many the department is yet to accomplish. No recommended text was available at the time when the new course, legal studies, was introduced in 2010 to be taught as an examinable subject. Newly elevated secondary schools in the country are facing reference material problem. The problem of rare stock of resource material is truly a considerable physical and psychological stress suffered by most teachers in the country. This book was written exactly in line with Upper Secondary Legal Studies syllabus as a text material to be used across the nation in all secondary schools in which Legal Studies course is offered. The subject itself is fundamentally interesting. I enjoyed teaching law for the last six years. I gained the insights of basic introductory law while in the process of teaching and writing this book. Hope you enjoy reading this book, Introduction to Our Laws and gain the insights of law.

Download or read book Substantial Justice written by Michael Goddard and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Papua New Guinea's village court system was introduced in 1974, partly in an effort to overcome the legal, geographical, and social distance between village societies and the country's formal courts. There are now more than 1100 village courts all over PNG, hearing thousands of cases each week. This anthropological study is grounded in ethnographic research on three different village courts and the communities they serve. It also explores the colonial historical background to the establishment of the village court system, and the local and global processes influencing the efforts of village courts to deal with everyday disputes among grassroots Melanesians.

Download or read book Development of Administrative Law in Papua New Guinea written by Eric Lokai Kwa and published by University of Papua New Guinea Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays contained in this volume deal with important issues regarding the development and parameters of the principles and application of administrative law. They reconcile the different administrative law principles as enunciated by various judges, law practitioners, legal luminaries and human rights activists from various parts of the world, and provide a rich experience and background of the subject. They were initially submitted at a workshop organised by the then Law Faculty of the University of Papua New Guinea in 1996. These papers were later edited to ensure comprehension of administrative law in all its gamuts by the students, advocates, legal practitioners and administrators, not only in Papua New Guinea, to whom this book is addressed, but in other parts of the world as well. All these essays have been grouped into five parts: origins of administrative law, rules of natural justice, the judicial review process, human rights and administrative law, and the role of judges in a democratic state. The publication of the book has coincided with Papua New Guinea's Silver Jubilee Year of Independence.

Book excerpt: "The Manual is intended not only to provide Magistrates with guidance as to how court proceedings should be conducted according to the relevant law and procedure, but also as to a Magistrate's personal approach to his judicial responsibility. An important feature of the preparation of this Manual has been the consultative process by which groups of Magistrates have met with the authors in order to consider draft chapters and to make suggestions as to how topics might best be treated in the Manual, and generally to provide valuable input. For their part, the authors have produced a text that takes into account local advice." From the foreword by Chief Magistrate George Manuhu
