ABSTRACT
In this chapter, African African jurisprudence is brought to bear on African African legal ethics. It is a jurisprudence that must be deeply rooted in African society, African culture, and in African history. It is not to be confused with or mistaken for imported jurisprudence. It must not be an imitation of a non-African jurisprudence. It must be homegrown if it is to be relevant to African African legal ethics. African African understanding of law, as is the case with African African understating of ethics, must originate from native African soil. The African concept of Ubuntu is the expressive nature of this soil. The idea is not to cut off dialogue with non-Africans. Global dialoguing has increasingly become inevitable. The point is to ensure that in the dialogue, one is properly and firmly rooted in one’s home – a home that has provisional borders.
