Book Review: Moseneke D <i>All Rise: A Judicial Memoir</i>(Pickado Africa Johannesburg 2020)
Abstract
The contribution is the review of the book published by former Deputy Chief Justice, Dikhang Moseneke, about his illustrious 15-year term in the Constitutional Court as both the judge and Deputy Chief Justice. The book uniquely provides a rare window into the dynamics of judicial decision-making at the apex court. So often, legal academics only interact with the judiciary through the judgements. Yet, Moseneke gives the reader much more to the judicial decision-making process than just the judgements. The book further traverses one of the most controversial aspects of the Constitutional Court's jurisprudence, such as same-sex marriages, succession to chieftainship, children spanking and equality jurisprudence.
