Abstract: The study found that while judicial reforms is a vast area, the bulk of the literature is concerned with the appointment of the judges and the tug of war between the executive and the legislature. The literature on legal reforms with respect to police and law enforcement focus on colonial heritage and how current structure of policing organisations is defined by colonial laws. Police corruption and public perception have also been the focus of researchers in legal reforms. It was also observed that while some papers adopted objective stances, there has been literature that supports one political era over another. Most of the studies adopted the discussion-based approach based on historical analyses.
