BLACKSTONE AFRICA-ASIA JURISTS CENTER
LEGAL
DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH AND JUSTICE ADVOCATES
The Central
Philosophy of the Blackstone Africa-Asia
Jurists Center, and as a Law Firm, is to serve as vigilant advocates of the Law and Justice, against any form of Tyranny, thus, upholding the position of the law as a
shield. Therein, committed to Social Justice advocacy and activism, as a means to monitor
unchecked power, and Justice for the selected few that hinders Africa democracy, and socio-economic development.
Reminiscing to the
quotation statement of the 28th President of the United States,
Thomas Woodrow Wilson, as a scholar of law, did state; " the nature of men and
organized society dictates, the maintenance in every field of action, the
highest and purest standards of Justice, and of right dealings. By Justice, the
lawyer generally means the prompt, fair and open application of impartial
rules."
Thereby, the Central
focus of the Center, is to complement the development of Research in General
Jurisprudence, Case Law publications, from the various appellate Courts in West
Africa, with critical emphasis to the legal ecosystem of Africa, in
collaboration with Asian partners, within the specialized field of Law and Economics, highlighting on
Constitutional text legisprudence, and
criminological studies, which is of economic reasoning in nature, to guide
contemporary policy frameworks, for the Judicial administration and applications, meant to strengthen the Rule of Law, as well safeguard the Rule of Justice, within the operating territorial boundaries, especially, in an era with influx of sophisticated technologies that
create opportunities, and motivation by criminal actors, to pursue criminal
innovations against innocent targets.
We prioritize our
works as a Center, on legal research writings and publications, by assiduously
documenting different forms of Courts opinions, and decisions on landmark cases,
in different subject areas of law, under a scholarly editorials, for legal
development studies, to achieve a compendium of Case law developed books, which
is expected to serve as practitioners legal directories, for reference within
the focused Jurisdiction(s).
The fundamental
objective of the Center, is to enhance the structured library of law studies, within the legal system of West Africa, and beyond, as an Africa-Asia
collaborative scholarship, for legal development studies of both continents,
thou, to guide technical areas of legal practice and Bench delivery efficacy.
And where necessary, serve in the pivotal role for fundraising towards Justice
Advocacy, and a legal aid, to victims of Injustices and Human right abuse,
within the territorial boundaries, in other to ensure that high quality legal
representation, is not limited to big corporations, and wealthy individuals, but
to the underprivileged.
