North Africa

North Africa gathers the modern Chief Justices and senior constitutional judges of Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria and Sudan, the Arabic-speaking states of the Nile Valley and Maghreb. Egypt's Supreme Constitutional Court, the region's most active bench in this group and one of the Arab world's most closely studied constitutional courts, anchors the membership, alongside Morocco's Court of Cassation and Supreme Council of the Judicial Power, Tunisia's and Algeria's own constitutional courts, and Sudan's judiciary, each shaped by its own mix of civil law codification and Islamic legal tradition.
