The judicial and legal sector of
Ethiopia presents a variety of significant challenges. The
legal system as it exists today combines elements of both
civil and common law1 with traditional practices, resulting
in multiple layers intermingling and superimposing distinct
types of modern, traditional, and religious laws and
processes. This report provides an overview of
Ethiopia's current legal system focusing on four key
issues: judiciary, access to justice, commercial justice,
and sequencing of reform efforts. Other issues are commented
upon briefly to provide context and elucidate
interconnections between issues. The report focuses mainly
on the formal legal system as established by the 1995 Constitution. |
