n Acta Juridica - Opening address

Abstract

I want to express my sincerest appreciation to the law schools of the University of Cape Town and of New York University for having initiated this joint venture on Global Administrative Law (GAL). I recognise that GAL, as a branch of law, is still in its nascent stage. However, as would be self-evident to all here present, this area of work is in desperate need of development and recognition. I am distinctly privileged to join with you here though, I should warn in advance, I can at best proffer a distinctly non-lawyer's perspective on the law.
