On 2 August 2012, a workshop was convened on the question of authority within the living customary law. It featured legal scholars, judges and anthropologists from South Africa and abroad.
Later,
on the same day, a book launch and discussion on Drucilla Cornell and Nyoko Mavangua's edited collection 'uBuntu and the law: African ideals and post-apartheid jurisprudence' was held.
The next day (3 August), South African legal scholars and Constitutional Court Justices held a number of roundtables in honour of Emeritus Constitutional Court Justice (and now judge of the Namibian Supreme Court) Kate O'Regan. Each of the roundtables critically engaged with Judge O'Regan's jurisprudence traversing issues as diverse as socio-economic rights, constitutional interpretation, feminism, LGBTI rights, legal theory and her role in the institutional affairs of the Constitutional Court.
The evening concluded with a dinner in her honour with justices, judges, academics and students celebrating the former Justice's contribution to post-apartheid jurisprudence and transformation.
