Abstract:The Sudan, with more or less its present political boundaries, has known political unity only since the Turco-Egyptian conquest of 1821. Prior to that date it was ruled by several sultans and sheikhs, some of them owing a degree of political allegiance to others in exchange for security and protection. After 1821, howver, the country experienced three different administrations before it came into its present sovereign status: the Turco-Egyptian administration of 1821-1884; the Mahdist State of 1884-1898; the Angol-Egyptian Condominium of 1898-1956. The present legal system is largely the creature of the last period and is briefly traced here form 1898 to the present day: The present legal system - Initiation of criminal proceedings - Supervision of investigations - Choice of mode of trial - Availability of legal advice and representation - An assessment - The case for reform (immediate relief; long-term solution) - Conclusion.
