The Ethiopian civil code: Its usefulness, relation to custom and applicability

This is partly a comment on Professor David's views as expressed in “A Civil Code for Ethiopia: Considerations on the Codification of the Civil Law in African Countries”, in the Tulane Law Review of February 1963. Such comment will develop this writer's views as set forth in the Journal of Ethiopian Studies, No. 1 (1963) s.v. “A New Legislative Approach to Custom: the ‘Repeals’ Provision of the Ethiopian Civil Code of 1960”.
