'I heard it all before': Egyptian tales of law and development

Article Abstract:

The effect the rule of law reforms has had in raising the profile of Egyptian legal practitioners and empowering them as instrumental decision makers on multiple questions of public concern is highlighted. The rule of law as a strategy for economic and political emancipation is assessed and it is argued that the history of the Egyptian legal elite makes it very difficult to either embrace the rule of law as a universal remedy or dismiss it out of hand as a colonial ploy.
