Chi Mgbako, Fordham University School of Law, has published Witchcraft Legal Aid in Africa as Fordham Law Legal Studies Research Paper No. 1763924 and in the International Legal Tribune, February 2011. Here is the abstract.

The human-rights law program I direct recently partnered with an N.G.O. in Malawi to run a mobile legal-aid clinic focusing on witchcraft cases in two rural communities.
