Acta Academica: Law as a humanities discipline: transformative potential and political limits, 46(3), 196-215.0587-2405 (print)2415-0479 (online)http://hdl.handle.net/11660/3027I reflect on the relation between complicity and the legacy of South African jurisprudence and law, and tentatively consider continuances between the civil law tradition (Roman- Dutch common law) as well as present human rights and constitutional law. I also raise notions on reconfiliation, frailty and complex writing as possible alternatives. My aim is to think with students and colleagues and to re-imagine a legal culture and legal education that could be different from the present one.enLegal educationRoman Dutch lawCivil lawHuman rightsConstitutional lawArticleUniversity of the Free State
