Habeas Crocodylus is Justice Kemal Bokhary’s fourth cartoon law book. Like his previous books, this one covers topics of interest to lawyers and members of the general public. Topics as diverse as animal rights, democracy, the environment, language, rule of law and socio-economic rights, to the judicial protection of personal liberty by the writ of habeas corpus are addressed with the Judge’s characteristic wit and humour, but always to make points meant to be taken seriously. And like his previous books, it is important the topics covered in this book are made available to young readers.
“ [Mr Justice Bokhary] has written five books, with this his sixth, all for the same purpose — to explain the law and its principles with humour and wisdom to non-lawyers, especially young people, so they would come to know and love the law. I hope you will read his works and come to know and love the man, and his Crocky. ”
