ConCourtBlog is dedicated to impartially reporting on the Constitutional Court of South Africa. It aims to provide a source of information and education about the Constitutional Court, its decisions and its judges.

We report on all cases which the Constitutional Court has set down for hearing.  Previews of these cases and analysis of some of the Court’s more recent decisions will be provided.  Occasionally, the blog will feature a case before it is set down.

We provide statistical analysis of the Constitutional Court’s decisions, the voting patterns and work output of its judges, and of a few aspects of the cases we find interesting.  There is a calendar that describes the Court’s activity, including hearings, decisions and the court terms.

When there is a vacancy on the Constitutional Court, we will provide information on the Judicial Service Commission process, including information on nominees and prospective candidates.
