Abstract

This paper examines constitutionalism and legal order in Ethiopian transitions from to , focusing on the development of law and governance in Ethiopia. Qualitative analysis was employed, involving a review of legislative documents, court judgments, and scholarly articles to evaluate the implementation and effects of Ethiopian constitutions and laws. A notable finding is the significant increase in judicial independence cases post-, indicating growing adherence to constitutional mandates for courts to operate free from executive influence. While Ethiopia has made strides towards a robust legal framework, challenges persist, particularly regarding enforcement of anti-corruption laws and implementation of human rights protections. Future research should focus on enhancing the practical application of constitutions through targeted policy interventions and public education campaigns to support judicial independence.
