The most useful contributions are published in a printed journal and on the association's website. A dialogue is being encouraged between people who share similar interests but originate from very different cultural and legal backgrounds. Back home, participants are able to use the new contacts directly or through our website to share information on new developments, provide support, and initiate further activities. LFDA's programme consists so far of the annual Legal Exchange Seminar, however, further activities are planned with regard to involving former and new participants through the website. After having dealt with the subjects of Equality and Affirmative Action in 1998 and Property and Expropriation last year, the September seminar will cover the issue of the Electoral Process and Political Parties.
Participants are jurists at all stages and levels, i.e. students, lawyers, judges and academics.
They originated from a range of countries as diverse as Malawi, Poland, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Germany.
