Islamic Law Scholarship Roundup

  • In Litigating Subjects: Algerian Women, Local Courts, and the Making of Colonial Law (Stanford University Press), Sarah Ghabrial (Concordia University) “examines the activities of Algeria’s Muslim courts to reveal how Algerian subjects both incorporated and subverted colonial legal authorities and thereby exploited the tensions of the colonial state.”
  • In “Harmonizing Criminal Law with Islamic Ethics, Economic Justice, and Legal Education: A Comparative Analysis of Selected OIC Countries” (Natural Resources for Human Health), Mohammad Nasr Khater (Applied Science Private University) and others develop “an Integrated Criminal Law Harmonization Framework, consisting of four interconnected pillars: Islamic Ethical Governance, Economic Justice Policies, Modern Criminal Law Reform, and Transformative Legal Education. The proposed framework provides a comprehensive model for reducing crime, strengthening the rule of law, improving judicial legitimacy, protecting human rights, and promoting sustainable development while accommodating the constitutional and legal diversity of OIC member states.”
