Summary On the importance of judicial independence. The author documents Tanzanian land law along its line of historical development (pre- and post-independence) whereby the thorny issues about rights and duties of the landed, landless, and the intermediaries are elucidated. This volume is not limited to events in Tanzania, but includes jurisprudence of land law of other countries in order to tap some interpretative devices of our own by way of analogies
