About this site
Making droit marocain legible beyond its borders.
The Moroccan Law Review is my own research publication on Moroccan law, African law and comparative legal questions. I write it to give structure and context to a legal system whose primary sources are usually available only in Arabic or French — without sacrificing precision. It is not a journal, and it does not publish other people’s work.
