Abstract

This article examines Cameroon's post-conflict legal landscape to identify challenges and opportunities in African legal reconstruction. A qualitative approach was employed, drawing from interviews, legislative documents, and case studies to understand the complexities within Cameroon's legal system post-conflict. The analysis reveals a significant proportion of court delays attributed to inadequate infrastructure and staffing issues, necessitating immediate policy interventions. This study concludes that effective governance reforms are essential for enhancing judicial efficiency and public trust in legal institutions. Recommendations include reallocating resources towards improving court facilities and training judiciary personnel to reduce delays and increase service delivery.
