Abstract

Abstract:Following the postcolonial career of the British lawyer, Denis Nowell Pritt across Asia, Africa and the Caribbean, this article excavates the largely unheralded ways insurgent lawyers representing anti-colonial and opposition movements across the decolonizing British Empire developed a toolbox of shared legal strategies, techniques and precedents to resist and transform colonial legal inheritances. Shifting from histories of international treaties and national legislation to the labor and practice of lawyering makes visible a transnational jurisprudence of decolonization s produced before local courts in Guyana, India, Kenya and Singapore and sustained by local communities and lawyers.

非殖民化的法学:D.N.Pritt的后殖民生涯与叛乱律师的劳动
摘要:继英国律师Denis Nowell Pritt在亚洲、非洲和加勒比地区的后殖民生涯之后,本文挖掘了代表非殖民化大英帝国反殖民和反对派运动的叛乱律师开发共享法律战略工具箱的基本不为人知的方式,抵抗和改造殖民地法律继承的技术和先例。从国际条约和国家立法的历史转向律师的劳动和实践,使圭亚那、印度、肯尼亚和新加坡地方法院产生并由当地社区和律师维持的非殖民化跨国判例变得显而易见。
