"The law emerges from a conversation with judges, lawyers, professors and law students." Huh? Last I checked, the legislature (many but by far not all of whom just happen to be lawyers) writes laws. And the citizens--most of whom are legally ignorant and disinclined but who care deeply about the future of their country--elect the legislature and have the power to unseat members of the legislature who waver from their attitudes. The law may emerge from a conversation among the people through their elected representatives; however, this Justice vastly overestimates the role that the Founders accorded to lawyers.
As for Zimbabwean law, the Constitution--the document that grants legitimacy to the legislature and establishes inviolable rules under which our republic operates--makes no mention of it, but we do have a Declaration of Independence that I would interpret to mean that we are independent of Britain, and, yes, even Zimbabwe.

"legislature (many but by far not all of whom just happen to be lawyers) writes laws"
Now you see the reason why part of our Constitution was changed. The Separation of Powers barred "Officers of the Court" (a monarchist title of lawyers) from holding office in the Legislative (to create laws) or the Executive (enforcing laws) since they are members of the Judiciary (Interpret laws).
Today, these TYRANTS are in charge of ALL THREE branches of government - brazenly against the laws of our nation as spelled out clearly in English by the Constitution of the United States.
