Abstract
This dissertation is concerned with the same issues of adjudication in the superior courts of South Africa. The purpose is to challenge assumptions about who we believe should be afforded the privilege of adjudicating in a transforming society under the Constitution.2 This is an inquiry about the nature of justice. The practice of justice requires not only active advocates for the vulnerable, marginalised and people without resources; it requires that those who adjudicate in the superior courts protect, advance and enable ordinary citizens to live bigger, larger and more meaningful lives.
