    The art of oratory in jurisprudence
    (Jescho Publishing House, 2022) Lubogo, Isaac Christopher
    Lawyers often speak before adjudicators, city councils, planning commissions, and give talks to civic groups, business executives, or company employees. They even give media interviews on behalf of clients. For certain individuals, it falls into place without any issues. It’s a piece of their characters. In any case, for the individuals who aren’t sure or have stage dread can generally work on speaking and oratory skills. It’s progressively essential to be a viable open speaker if you mean to be a litigator. Judges and juries will anticipate it. Restricting insight will be prepared to jump if you need certainty or on the off chance that you continually slip up when making your contentions in court. It is a highstress condition and you should be agreeable introducing your case as well as having the option to think and react quickly when being tested by your appointed authority. For attorneys, this is significantly increasingly significant. Individuals believe that since you’re a legal counsellor, you’re consequently a dauntless and splendid open speaker. We legal advisors all realize this isn’t in every case valid. This desire, however, is one motivation behind why it’s progressively significant for legal advisors to have great talking abilities than it is for some other experts. As a legal advisor, it’s important that you realize how to convince an adjudicator or council, or address a gathering of professionals, investors, or meeting members. Be that as it may, past this, legal advisors despite everything should be viable communicators in littler gatherings with clients and different lawyers. This isn’t “public speaking” as such. All things considered, the core of the lawful practice is speaking to your customer, and you can’t exclusively do this through the composed word. Regardless of whether you’re a valuebased lawyer, you’ll be aware of your client’s expectations and understand them to different gatherings and lawyers. You’ll have to introduce a certain front regardless of whether you’re feeling apprehensive inside. An analysis about the importance and need of forensic oratory in the training of the future professional of the Law major is presented, since this topic has been poorly included in the teachinglearning process of the Law students. Varied classificatory criteria are suggested in order to enhance a better theoretical systematization for its learning and also for the development of communicative skills. Its objective is the consolidation of a more comprehensive formative process of the students in different law contexts, considering their professional profile at the university. This Book examines representations of courtroom oratory, delivery, and the speaker’s body in medieval rhetorical theory and current practice. It contests the view that medieval theorists paid little attention to judicial oratory and that they largely ignored delivery. After looking at rhetorical treatises, procedural manuals, guides to legal deportment, satiric portraits of the lawyerasrobedvulture (etc.), the Book turns to the work of four rhetorical theorists who rewrite (and upend) ancient rhetorical theory: Alcuin of York, Boncompagno da Signa, Guilhem Molinier, and Jean de Jandun. Each offers an animated account of embodied legal expression, a richly detailed evocation of the medieval courtroom, and a distinctive theory of the pleader’s body. In their work, law appears not as a set of rules or the sovereign’s fiat but as visceral, intimate bodily experience. Here, the body may appear as a divine instrument. Or, alternatively, it may appear as a material thing with a life of its own: indecorous, prone to accident, hopelessly leaky, sublimely obscene.

    Asexuality, gender and the law in Uganda
    (Jescho Publishing House, 2022) Lubogo, Isaac Christopher
    Asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction to others or low or absent interest in or desire for sexual activity. It may be considered a sexual orientation or the lack thereof. It may be categorized more widely to include a broad spectrum of a sexual sub-identities. A sexuality is distinct from abstention from sexual activity and from celibacy , which are behavioral and generally motivated by factors such as an individual’s personal, social or religious beliefs. Sexual orientation, unlike sexual behavior is believed to be enduring. Some asexual people engage in sexual activity despite lacking sexual attraction or a desire for sex, due to a variety of reasons, such as a desire to physically pleasure themselves or romantic partners or a desire to have children. Acceptance of asexuality as a sexual orientation and field of scientific research is still relatively new, as a growing body of research from both sociological and psychological perspectives has begun to develop. While some researchers assert that asexuality is a sexual orientation, other researchers disagree. Asexual individuals may represent about one percent of the population. Various asexual communities have started to form since the impact of the internet and social media in the mid-1990s. the most prolific and well-known of these communities is the asexual visibility and education network, which was founded in 2001 by David Jay. Asexuality is sometimes called ace (a phonetic shortening of asexual) while the community is sometimes called the ace community by researchers or asexual.

    Current and emerging land laws, urban smart cities & eco-friendly renewable energies
    (Jescho Publishing House, 2023-01) Lubogo, Isaac Christopher
    Uganda is a developing country with a population of approximately 43 million people. As the population increases, the demand for land is increasing as well. To meet the needs of the population, Uganda is transitioning to a more urban and modern lifestyle. This includes the development of smart cities, which are cities that use technology to improve the quality of life for citizens. Smart cities can provide efficient transportation, clean energy, and efficient waste management. At the same time, Uganda is also transitioning to a eco-friendlier lifestyle. This includes the use of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydropower. Renewable energy sources are important for reducing the effects of climate change, as well as providing a reliable and sustainable source of energy. The development of smart cities and the use of renewable energy sources require a sound legal framework. This includes the development of a comprehensive land law, which will outline the rights and responsibilities of citizens and landowners. This land law should include provisions for the acquisition of land for public and private use, as well as provisions for the protection of the environment. In addition, the land law should also include provisions for the development of urban infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, and other public works. This infrastructure is necessary for the development of smart cities, as well as the efficient use of renewable energy sources. Finally, the land law should also include provisions for the protection of the environment. This includes the protection of natural resources, such as forests and water sources, as well as the protection of wildlife. These provisions will help to ensure the sustainability of the environment, as well as the long-term viability of the smart cities and renewable energy sources. In conclusion, the development of a comprehensive land law is essential for the development of smart cities and the use of renewable energy sources in Uganda. This land law should include provisions for the acquisition of land for public and private use, as well as the protection of the environment. It should also include provisions for the development of urban infrastructure and the protection of natural resources and wildlife. The implementation of this land law will help to ensure the sustainability of the environment and the long-term viability of the smart cities and renewable energy sources in Uganda.

    Cyber law in Uganda
    (Jescho Publishing House, 2021) Lubogo, Isaac Christopher
    Cyber law is the law governing the internet and all digital transactions carried out thereon. Cyber law is indeed one of the novel areas of the legal system. This is because internet technology develops at such a rapid pace. Cyber law provides legal protections to people using the internet. This includes both businesses and everyday citizens. Understanding cyber law is of the utmost importance to anyone who uses the internet. Cyber Law has also been referred to as the "law of the internet. Cyber law covers a fairly broad area, encompassing several subtopics including freedom of expression, access to and usage of the Internet, and online privacy. Generically, cyber law has been referred to as the Law of the Internet. Information technology law provides the legal framework for collecting, storing, and disseminating electronic information in the global marketplace. Hence, Cyber law can be considered as a part of the overall legal system that deals with the Internet, E-commerce, digital contracts, electronic evidence, cyberspace, and their respective legal issues. Attorneys practicing in this area of the law represent individuals and businesses from all different industries. They help structure information technology transactions in a way that maximizes the client's economic benefit while ensuring regulatory compliance. A great deal of emphasis is also placed on anticipating potential sources of dispute between the parties to a transaction, and crafting agreements that address these concerns, thereby reducing the risk of litigation.

    Digital money : the law of crypto currency and cryptography in Uganda
    (Jescho Publishing House, 2022) Lubogo, Isaac Christopher
    Ordinarily, a cryptocurrency is a digital currency. Crypto currencies are digital assets that are designed to effect electronic payments without the participation of a central authority or intermediary such as a Central Bank or licensed financial institution. It is a medium of exchange that is in the form of digital asset and is designed to use strong cryptography in securing financial transactions; the control of creating additional units; and verifying asset transfer. Put more simply, it is a digital currency in which transactions are verified and records maintained by a decentralized system using cryptography, rather than by a centralized authority. Cryptocurrencies’ may have an effect of bypassing the traditional established centralized systems of money transaction control and this factor has to some minor extent contributed to the skepticism that some economies have towards adopting this trend. In the making of Bit coins, the framers envisioned a world here people would use this digital currency for almost all transactions. No wander still, that the traditional banking system wants to control or eliminate bitcoin. Despite the skepticism surrounding Bitcoins, some countries have endorsed it.

    The executive constitutional mandate. Demystifying the fountain of honor. Presidential powers overreach in Uganda
    (Jescho Publishing House, 2021) Lubogo, Isaac Christopher
    When a counrty is hurtling towards its destruction merit and intergrity are sacrificed at the Alter of atavisitic ethnic jingoism camofaulegled through processes that are carefully choreographed to hoodwink the casual observers (Prof. PLO Lumumba) In my much coveted book Obuntu Bulamu and the Law: An Extra Texual Aid Statutory Interpretation Tool (Lubogo 2020), I explain how Prof. Oloka-Onyango in Ghosts & the Law, An Inaugural Lecture, explores how the ghosts have infested the law in Uganda concerning, for example, judicial restraint and conservatism. He considers the Political Question Doctrine (PQD) as the essence of the ghost of ex parte Matovu, (in the case of Uganda v. Commissioner of Prisons, ex parte Michael Matovu1 ), which influenced the outcome of most cases which even simply challenged the exercise of executive power. (which this book intends to achieve) Thus, in the case of Opoloto v. Attorney General2 which concerned the dismissal of the then army commander for refusing to execute the order to attack the Kabaka’s palace, the court held that the Ugandan president had inherited the prerogative powers of the British monarch to dismiss at will officers in its service. 3 This is a demonstration of the spill-over of the Western colonial influence on post-independent legal system in Uganda. The author contends that Matovu’s case has found a way of holding the courts ransom in several court decisions. 4 In his judgment in the Tinyefuza case5 in the Supreme Court, Justice Kanyeihamba observed that certain boundaries existed over which the Judiciary should not cross, he however, overruled the decision in Opoloto’s case, arguing that “In this age of modernity, democracy and entitlement to human rights and freedoms, Opoloto’s case can no longer be treated as good law. 6 Prof. Oloka-Onyango (2017) in his book, when Courts Do Politics: Public Interest Law and Litigation in East Africa, considers how courts relate to and are affected by politics such as in the appointment of Judges by the executive. He contends that the present defenders of impartial judiciary would not easily claim that courts have nothing to do with politics. The political operation of the courts, he suggests can be determined by examining where the Judges come from, what they did prior to getting onto the bench, and how they got there. For those that rose through the ranks, their decisions in the lower courts could be examined. For those from academia, a review of their published works could be examined. Such analysis could help determine a Judge’s ideological orientation, what he describes as judicial politics. The author dispels any guarantee of a status quo once a Judge has been appointed, and argues that such orientation and perceived loyalty to the appointing authority was prone to change.

    Exorcising the inexorcible Buganda Ghost
    (Jescho Publishing House, 2022) Lubogo, Isaac Christopher
    Buganda just like the Zulu kingdom was abuetiful, organized centralized state, infact so orgnised was it that it had the best naval army around the Lake Victoria, it had acentral head figre in form of the Kabaka, a person who wielded a lot of authority in this kingdom that has been exixtent for over 700(Seven Hundred years) In his interview1 with prof. Afuna Adhula, seasoned scholar Mahiri Balunywa argues that Prof Mukandala (2003) described Kings as stationary bandits. He argued that Kings were individual actors who usurped people power, property and all the factors of production. They suppressed the weak, dominated them and forced them into submission. The subjects became providers of wealth and all the basic necessities to the Kings. Thus, Kings became stationary bandits to grab whatever they wished. Mukandala said the other category of bandits are the roaming bandits. These once in a while raid the wealth and properties of the weak, which they amass and then start boasting that they are rich. That is what Marx and Angels describe as "Primitive accumulation of wealth". Today we call them kleptocrats. in scholarship we respect all shades of thoughts, whether this is true or not perphaps the better question is how did Kings acquire wealth and acquire properties, including land, since they don't work? Where do they get power to dominate the weak? These people historically have imposed themselves onto the subjects and coined theories to justify their hegemony. There seems to be some grain of truth in what he says. However, we need to distinguish between divine Kings and Earthly Kings, One would argue that “Divine Kings” If there is any thing like it were crowned by God with a special message to humanity. They never ruled but managed society on behalf of God. The few moments they attempted to go contrary to God's mission, God dethroned and punished them. Earthly Kings fabricated theories of indispensability, royalty and heredity. Our current Kings to the centrally are more of business entrepreneurs and the chiefs they appoint are more of agents of primitive accumulation of wealth. On this note Vaughan (1980) argues that in some societies king’s ascent to Kingdoms through slaying previous kings. He says there two accepted ways in which Kings are made or replaced. First, through institutional regicide. Second, through ritual regicide. Institutional regicide is when members of society accept the leader as King. Ritualistic regicide is where the King accepts his fate and descends from the throne.

    Exorcising the inexorcible Buganda ghost
    (Jescho Publishing House, 2022) Lubogo, Isaac Christopher
    About the Book Exorcising the inexorcible Buganda ghost: Hoodwinked, Dumped, Used and re-dumped; A quest for Buganda's cause for Buganda's independence. Buganda in response to their proposals, were invariably faced either cynical deception. What went wrong? Where did this insolent manner of talking down from the height of their exceptionalism, infallibility and all-permissiveness come from? What is the explanation for this contemptuous and disdainful attitude to Buganda interests and absolutely legitimate demands? Buganda has grown weaker and subsequently broken apart. That experience should serve as a good lesson for Buganda because it has shown us that the paralysis of power and will is the first step towards complete degradation and oblivion. Buganda lost confidence for only one moment, but it was enough to disrupt the balance of forces in the Uganda. As a result, this book will argue that the old treaties and agreements are no longer effective. Entreaties and requests do not help. Anything that does not suit the dominant state, the powers that be, is denounced as archaic, obsolete and useless. This redivision of the world, and the norms of international law that developed by that time and the most important of them, the fundamental norms that were adopted following WWII and largely formalised its outcome came in the way of those who declared themselves the "bread servers" under the scramble and partition of Africa. Of course, practice, international relations and the rules regulating them had to consider the changes that took place in the world and in the balance of forces, especially the 1900 Buganda agreement, should have been done professionally, smoothly, patiently, and with due regard and respect for the interests of all states and one’s own responsibility. Instead, we see a state of euphoria created by the feeling of absolute superiority, a kind of modern absolutism, coupled with the low cultural standards and arrogance of those who formulated and pushed through decisions that suited only themselves. The situation takes different turn. These Western colleagues (and their cronies) prefer to forget what they did, and when we mention the event, they prefer to avoid speaking about international law, instead emphasising the circumstances which they interpret as they think necessary. This so called 1900 buganda agreement has pushed Uganda towards a humanitarian catastrophe and into the vortex of a civil war, which has continued up today. The type of colonial con-artist behaviour was contrary not only to the principles of international relations but also and above all to the generally recognised norms of state sovereignty they used devide and rule. This book offers no illusions in this regard and is extremely realistic in my assessment, further expansions of the Chinese influence deepen the Buganda question even more. For the colonialist it was obvious geopolitical dividends, for our country, it is a matter of life and death, a matter of our historical future as a nation. The Buganda question is not an exaggeration; this is a fact; it is not only a very real threat to our interests but to the very existence of our state Uganda and to its sovereignty. No doubts several red lines have been stepped over on numerous occasions. The cause and effect are that there should be no "staged coup" like the backfired " coffin cake " saga and third Kabaka crisis only and only ornamental election procedures towards the path of peace should be pursued. Buganda all must and should be done by peaceful political means. It is Buganda's it is their aspirations, the feelings and pain of the people that is the main motivating force behind their decision to recognise the independence of Buganda. Although Buganda may have accepted the new geopolitical territorial gains and loses, it should never lose its sovereignty and independence. We need to respect the will sovereignty of Buganda. Buganda has faced tragic events and a challenge in terms of its statehood and integrity. Buganda cannot feel safe, develop, and exist while facing a permanent threat of its terrorial rights and sovereignty. The purpose of this book is to protect and remind the people of Buganda who, for over 700(seven hundred) years now, have been facing humiliation and genocide perpetrated by colonial legacy. To this end, they as a people will seek to redeem, find and take back their " righteous God given sovereignty." It is not my desire plan to advocate for a Buganda territory. I do not intend to impose anything on anyone by force. At the same time, but history has it of a number of statements coming that what ever " documents" particularly the 1900 agreement was a mere puff from the colonialist and there is no need any more to abide by the documents setting forth the outcomes of World War I and II, as signed by the totalitarian western fascist, racial regimes, this book asks that magic question... How can Buganda respond to that? A nation like Buganda should enjoy the right to self-determination, which is enshrined in Article 1 of the UN Charter. Freedom guides our policy, the freedom to choose independently our future and the future of Bugandas children, Buganda must be able to enjoy this right to make a free choice. In this context I would like to address the unsettled Buganda question, Buganda is obliged to protect her sovereignty from those who stole it from them, their choice is in favour of being with their historical homeland, asoveign independent Buganda. The current events in Buganda and Uganda generally have everything to do with a desire to excorsize this in settled "Buganda ghost" in quest for its independence which has existed for over 700(seven hundred) years. Those who took Buganda hostage and used it against them and Uganda, played a very unfair "game" used legal social contracts like the order in council, inception clauses, reception clauses and particularly the 1900 Buganda agreement which for all intent and purposes were done with a Minor, (Daudi Chwa) and compromised reagents with no legal authority and therefore no contractual capacity, biased, taintated with malafide, frivolous and vexatious only to serve their own selfish ends. To use Kabaka Frederick mutesa words "we are acting to defend ourselves from the threats created for us and from a worse peril than what is happening now" (emphasis added) By allowing buganda to be used as a staging force to corce uganda and allign british intrest along the nile basin valley led to interfere in Bugandas affairs while strengthing Buganda from within as a single whole, but weakening Buganda from outside, the British exploited Buganda's best weakness " expansionist " tendency and prayed on Buganda's desire to extend its boarders from mere three counties to its present almost 20 but at the expense of its sovereignty and independence. The book also addresses the loss of military force of the Bambowa, reducing the once best naval force in the interlacustrine area into mere " Byoya by a nswa" The Buganda fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers did fight the occupiers and did defend their common Motherland to allow today’s continued neocolonialism to seize power in Buganda is to hoodwink, use, dump, use re-dump Buganda. The Kabaka swore the oath of allegiance to the Buganda people and not to the colonial government, the people’s adversary which plundered Buganda and humiliated the Baganda people. I want to emphasize again that all responsibility for the possible loss of independence of Buganda will lie fully and wholly with the leaders of the time.

    Fashion, design and entertainment law in Uganda
    (Jescho Publishing House, 2022) Lubogo, Isaac Christopher
    Fashion is literally defined to mean a popular or the latest style of clothing, hair, decoration or behavior. Fashion law can be defined as an amalgamation of various kinds of laws viz contract law, employment law, consumer protection law but most importantly intellectual property law, which can be regarded as the major tenet of fashion law.’ It also includes related areas such as textile production, modelling, media and the cosmetics and perfume industries.1 It is a specific field of law that deals with legal issues that impact the fashion industry. Fashion is a popular aesthetic expression in a certain time and context, especially in clothing, footwear, life style, accessories, make up, hairstyle and body proportions. A trend often connotes a specific aesthetic expression and often lasting shorter than a season. Style is an expression that lasts over many seasons and is often connected to cultural movements and social makers, symbols, class and culture.3 Fashion is generally transient of short lasting in nature and involves continuous change.

    Freedom through law
    (Jescho Publishing House, 2021) Lubogo, Isaac Christopher
    If the legal system or a particular law is wrong or not good enough, and should be changed: if that is against the law, then the law is an ass – an idiot….said of a law that one thinks is unnecessary or ridiculous. The phrase comes from Charles dickens Novel Oliver twist this opinion was expressed by Mr. Bumble, when he learned from Mr. Brownlow that, under Victorian law, he was responsible for actions carried out by his wife. His words and action vividly convey the extent of his indignation when he apprised of this legal fact, if thatʼs the eye of the law, the law is a bachelor: and the worst I wish the law is that his eye may be opened by experience. (Resonate with changing society) This is the very purpose of this book the law should be seen to resonate with changing society not a dogma for if we fail to do so then to use Shakespeareʼs exact line by the famous plotter of treachery “ the first thing we do, letʼs kill all the lawyers” this was stated by dick the butcher in Henry VI part II, Act IV, Scene II, LINE 73 Dick the Butcher was a follower of the rebel Jack Cade, who thought that if he disturbed law order, he could become king. Shakespeare meant it as a compliment to attorneys and judges who instill justice in society. It is among Shakespeareʼs most famous lines, as well as one of his most controversial. Shakespeare may be making a joke when character “Dick the Butcher” suggests one of the ways the band of pretenders to the throne can improve the country is to kill all the lawyers. Dick is a rough character, a killer as evil as his name implies like the other henchmen, and this is his rough solution to his perceived societal problem. The line has been interpreted in different ways: criticism of how lawyers maintain the privilege of the wealthy and powerful; implicit praise of how lawyers(law) emphasis added stand in the way of violent mobs; and criticism of bureaucracy and perversions of the rule of law under THE NAME OF DOGMA

    The future lawyer solving criminal and civil puzzles the evolution of next-generation intelligence
    (Jescho Publishing House, 2023) Lubogo, Isaac Christopher
    The legal profession has been relatively slow to adopt new technologies. However, with the increasing complexity of legal cases and the need for faster, more accurate analysis of information, the legal industry is finally starting to embrace the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in legal practice. In this article, we will discuss the evolution of next-generation intelligence and its impact on the future of the legal profession. AI has the potential to revolutionize legal practice in many ways. One area where AI is particularly promising is in the analysis of large volumes of data. For example, AI algorithms can be used to analyze vast amounts of legal documents and extract relevant information quickly and accurately. This can save lawyers a significant amount of time and reduce the risk of errors. In the field of criminal law, AI can be used to help identify patterns in criminal behavior, predict the likelihood of recidivism, and even identify potential suspects. For example, AI algorithms can analyze large volumes of data from social media platforms, CCTV cameras, and other sources to identify individuals who may be involved in criminal activity. In civil law, AI can be used to help lawyers prepare for trial by analyzing past cases and identifying relevant legal precedents. AI algorithms can also be used to help lawyers assess the strength of their case and identify potential weaknesses. One area where AI is particularly promising is in the field of contract law. AI can be used to analyze complex legal contracts and identify potential problems or inconsistencies. This can help lawyers to draft better contracts and reduce the risk of disputes arising in the future. The use of AI in legal practice raises a number of ethical and legal issues. For example, there is a risk that AI algorithms may be biased or discriminatory. It is important for lawyers to ensure that they are using AI tools in a responsible and ethical manner. Another issue is the potential impact of AI on the legal profession. Some experts predict that AI will lead to a significant reduction in the number of lawyers required, as many routine legal tasks can be automated using AI algorithms. However, others argue that AI will create new opportunities for lawyers, as they will be able to focus on more complex and strategic legal work. In conclusion, the use of AI in legal practice is an exciting development that has the potential to revolutionize the legal profession. By leveraging the power of AI, lawyers can analyze vast amounts of data quickly and accurately, identify patterns and trends in criminal behavior, and prepare better contracts. However, it is important for lawyers to use AI tools in a responsible and ethical manner and to ensure that they are prepared for the potential impact of AI on the legal profession.

    If I was President for one day
    (Jescho Publishing House, 2023) Lubogo, Isaac Christopher
    This abstract explores the hypothetical scenario of being the President of Uganda for one day. It delves into the potential actions, policies, and initiatives that could be undertaken within the limited timeframe to address key socio-economic challenges faced by Uganda. The abstract aims to highlight the importance of effective governance, strategic decision-making, and collaborative efforts in bringing about positive change in the country. Through an imaginative lens, this abstract envisions tackling critical issues such as poverty, infrastructure development, education, healthcare, corruption, economic diversification, and social equality. It emphasizes the need for evidence-based decision-making, drawing upon statistical data and best practices from successful models around the world. The abstract acknowledges the complex nature of these challenges and the limitations of a single day in office but seeks to inspire creative thinking and prioritize the most pressing issues. While acknowledging the importance of long-term solutions, the abstract focuses on short-term strategies and immediate actions that can yield tangible results within the hypothetical day in office. It highlights the significance of inclusive governance, transparent policies, and active citizen participation to foster a sense of ownership and ensure sustainable progress. The abstract also emphasizes the importance of upholding the rule of law, respecting human rights, and fostering a conducive environment for political stability and economic growth. It recognizes the need for collaborative efforts with international partners, regional cooperation, and learning from successful case studies to leverage resources and expertise for the benefit of the Ugandan people.

    Intelligent design and the African ontological and epistemological aesthetics: A legal philosophical discourse
    (Jescho Publishing House, 2021) Lubogo, Isaac Christopher
    This book introduces the controversy over intelligent Design; introducing some closely related views, such as creationism, theistic evolutionism and naturalistic evolutionism. It deals with the relationship of African jurisprudence and the natural sciences as a complex and controversial issue, it introduces many basic concepts used in the African context and African science discussion, and shows how my own approach of the intelligent design debate builds on these. It analyses the basic ideas and logic of design arguments, as well as setting the stage for further analysis and explores the philosophical and Africanized questions raised by the previous authors, with particular focus ion analyzing critiques of “designer of the gaps” and “naturalism of the gaps arguments.” It focuses further on the intensions between ID and African theistic evolutionism and further analyses the discussion surrounding the problem of natural evil and design arguments it summarizes the philosophical basis of the fine-tuning argument or the problem of natural evil. However, my purpose is into to provide the deepest analysis of fine-tuning or the problem of natural evil to date, but rather to provide an analysis of the intelligent design movement’s particular design arguments and the structure of thought which underlies them in the African way. For this purpose, it is necessary to examine this design argument from a variety of angles, this will make it impossible to see anew connections and intensions that have into been clear in previous researchers. Furthermore, since the issues are linked advancing the discussion requires understanding all of the central issues surrounding design arguments. The breadth of this book is also necessary to demonstrate how philosophical and African innate ideas influence the discussion and what their role is in relation to the empirical arguments. based on my analysis of the arguments used in this book, I have reached the overarching conclusion that there is no philosophical or Africanized jurisprudential silver bullet that could by itself settle the discussion either for or against ID’s design arguments, though philosophical and Africanized reasons can and do influence our beliefs regarding the history of life, evolution and design, such considerations cannot allow us to wholly bypass discussion of the empirical evidence. Opinions about the designedness (and undesignedness) of the cosmos are in practice formed in a complex interplay of many influences, including empirical, philosophical, theological and psychological factors, among others. (The theological and philosophical side of Intelligent Design is also very important for the movement itself, even though this side of the movement is not mentioned in the CSC’s definition. It is possible that the omission is made for the strategic reason that emphasizing the theological side of ID’s project could make it more difficult to get a hearing for ID’s empirical arguments in the secular media and public schools.) The discussion ion ID often impinges on fundamental theological and philosophical questions regarding the relationship of science and religion, the ultimate character of reality and how beliefs are justified. There are many interesting philosophical issues to analyse in design arguments, and the argument’s logical structure needs to be clarified. The evaluation of the current state of natural science is not necessary for this kind of philosophical work, Philosophical and theological differences strongly influence the different views about the rationality of design arguments, and not acknowledging their important role on all sides would lead to a misleading representation of the debate.

    Law of forensics : a proof beyond the shadow of doubt
    (Jescho Publishing House, 2021) Lubogo, Isaac Christopher
    Everything is a self-portrait, a diary, your whole drug history’s in a strand of your hair. Your fingernails the forensic details the lining of your stomach is a document. The calluses on your hand tell all your secrets. Your teeth give you away. Your accent, the wrinkles around your mouth and eyes, everything you do shows your hand. (Chuck Palahniuk) This book gives an understanding of the application of forensic sciences to the law. It covers the crime scene investigation process, and provides an overview of the various kinds of forensic evidence that may be collected and presented in court. Points out the identification, documentation and collection of physical evidence, including fingerprints, shoe impressions, hair fibers, firearms evidence and questioned documents, It considers biological evidence, including DNA, and tries to analayze the scientific unimpeachablity of DNA, blood spatter and other fluids, forensic anthropology and odontology. Finally, the book engages fire investigation and forensic accounting. It is designed to provide a foundation in the field of criminalistics to who are interested in the use of science and law to solve crime, and considers the impact of television and other media on the field of Forensic Science and the courtroom.

    The law of oil and gas in Uganda
    (Jescho Publishing House, 2021) Lubogo, Isaac Christopher
    The history of petroleum from 1859 up to about 1960 is inseparable from that of the big oil companies which formed and grew rapidly in order to seek, produce, transform, transport and sell this precious liquid. The first company to become very large in the oil sector belonged to John D. Rockefeller. He initially headed up a wholesale business, one of whose products was petroleum, and built the first refinery in Pennsylvania, then a second, progressively extending his activities to cover the entire range of activities of the burgeoning petroleum industry. He acted according to a number of simple but effective principles: control the various links in the petroleum chain (storage, refining, transport, distribution infrastructure) and ensure that they operate at minimum cost. Rockefeller eschewed production, which he considered anarchical, preferring to buy in his crude, which was then available on the market at a very competitive price.

    The law of penology and criminology "I can’t breathe" : a legal philosophical appraisal of the need to hamornize the law in Uganda
    (Jescho Publishing House, 2021) Lubogo, Isaac Christopher
    “If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so as a test of legal validity, any law that degrades human personality is unjust. All segregation statutes are unjust because segregation distorts the soul and damages the personality. It gives the segregator a false sense of superiority and the segregated a false sense of inferiority “Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless.” ~ Isaiah 10:1 Recent developments in the law have occurred against a background of mounting public anxiety about violent street crime. Leading politicians have proclaimed crime a priority rivaling even inflation and defense. As the sense of urgency intensifies, the desperate search for answers quickens. Virtually every day, a politician, editorial writer, or criminal justice professional offers a new prescription for ending crime. I believe the discussion currently raging over justice issues can best be understood by focusing upon a central question: Must we compromise the most basic values of our democratic society in our desperation to fight crime? I have elsewhere considered the implications of this question for issues of criminal responsibility and for policy choices in the administration of justice. In this book, I will examine the ways in which different answers to this fundamental question can affect the development of legal doctrine, particularly with respect to the constitutional rights of those accused of crime. Proficiency in law involves a number of different skills and competencies. It requires knowledge of the rules wherein the elements of criminal offences are to be found. It requires knowledge of the rules of evidence and procedure. It requires an ability to identify the rule(s) applicable to a fact situation and to apply them logically and coherently. Attaining these latter competencies is necessary to discharge effectively the day-to-day tasks of a criminal lawyer solicitor, advocate or judge. However, true mastery requires something further. It requires also a critical and evaluative attitude. The law in action is not just a matter of doctrine , it has its purpose that is the delivery of justice and criminal justice which are a contingent outcome in which rule, process and context all play their part. It is not simply a logical description of what happens when rule meets (prohibited) event. Understanding the law requires, therefore, an appreciation of the day-to-day workings and constitution of the criminal justice system. Moreover, it requires an understanding of the resources of the criminal law to produce substantive justice. If the mechanical application of a given rule to a fact situation acquits a dangerous or wicked person, or convicts someone neither dangerous nor blameworthy according to ordinary standards, the law may be considered not only ‘an ass’ but as confounding its own rationale. Understanding this “I CAN’T BREATHE” A LEGAL PHILOSOPHICAL APPRAISAL. rationale is also, therefore, a necessary preliminary to understanding the law itself since it will inform a realistic appreciation of what can be argued and what cannot. At its most basic, to know what the law is may require an understanding of how to produce cogent and principled arguments for change. This book seeks to examine the rules of the law in an evaluative context. It concerns itself with what makes a crime, both at a general theoretical level and at the level of individual offences. It addresses what the law is and, from the point of view of the ideas, principles and policies informing it, also what it ought to be. We will explore some general matters which will help to inform such an evaluative attitude, the principles and ideas informing decisions to criminalize will be considered. What is it, say, which renders incitement to racial hatred a criminal offence, incitement to sexual hatred a matter at most of personal morality and sexual and racial discrimination a subject of redress only under the civil law? This book examines punishment and the theories used to justify it. Although this is the subject-matter of its own discrete discipline, namely penology, some understanding is necessary for the student of law. It provides a basis for subjecting the rules of criminal law to effective critical scrutiny. If we have a clear idea of why we punish, we are in a position to determine, for example, what fault elements should separate murder from manslaughter, or indeed whether they should be merged in a single offence. Without such an idea our opinions will, inevitably, issue from our prejudices rather than our understanding. Individual offences themselves are covered and although elements of these offences vary, they have certain things in common. In particular, they require proof of some prescribed deed on the part of the offender unaccompanied by any excusing or justifying condition, together with a designated mental attitude, commonly known as guilty mind. Since this model of liability (conduct–consequence–mental attitude–absence of defense) is fairly constant throughout the criminal law these separate elements and the ideas informing them will be explored in before we meet the offences themselves, so as to avoid unnecessary duplication. Finally, we will examine how criminal liability may be incurred without personally executing a substantive offence, whether by participating in an offence perpetrated by another or by inciting, attempting or conspiring to commit a substantive offence. Before tackling these issues we will, examine some general issues pertinent to understanding the law and its operation, concentrating, in particular, upon the philosophy, workings and constitution of the justice system.
