Abstract This piece provides an insight into various contributions made by participants at the Law and Development Conference 2017. Participants converged in Cape Town, South Africa in September 2017 from institutions in different parts of Africa, as well as from other continents to deliberate on the theme of law and development from African perspectives. Over six panels of presentations, contributors wove a collective tapestry of reflections, critiques, debates and ideas showing the intersectionality of different fields of law in constructing, shaping and re-defining multiple development pathways for various constituencies. These discourses present a matrix of needful conditions, content and uses of law for its optimal application to development processes in and for the continent of Africa.

从非洲角度绘制法律与发展图：概述

摘要本篇文章深入探讨了2017年法律与发展会议的参与者所做出的各种贡献。参与者于2017年9月在南非开普敦从非洲不同地区以及来自其他大洲的机构汇聚一堂，讨论了这一主题。非洲角度看法律与发展。在六个小组的演讲中，撰稿人编织了一系列的思考，批评，辩论和思想的挂毯，这些织锦显示了不同法律领域在构建，塑造和重新定义各种选民的多种发展途径方面的交叉性。这些论述提供了法律的必要条件，内容和用法的矩阵，以将其最佳地应用于非洲大陆和非洲大陆的发展进程。
