Bailiffs recently launched a new journal of law and professional practice. The African Journal of Bailiffs, which has just released its first issue, is a biannual publication with the African scope. It is expected to strengthen the needed cooperation among African Bailiffs whose destiny is inextricably linked.

Indeed, African Bailiffs deal on daily basis with the same community laws, including OHADA Uniform Acts. In addition, the phenomenon of globalization, coupled with the consequential requirements to harmonize legal professions call for a reflection on a single status in respect of which significant works are ongoing. In this context, the African Journal of Bailiffs is called upon to reflect the dynamism of a profession, the actors of which have understood the role they should play in the development of law. It offers Bailiffs of the continent and beyond, but also the university community or other legal professionals, a medium of expression and discussion on various areas of law that may be more or less related to their profession, with focus on Comparative Law.

For the moment, the journal covers the three following areas: legislation, legal doctrine and case law. The first issue, with 104 pages, covers topics as diverse as the status of Bailiffs, right to execution, service of documents, execution of court decisions, injunction to pay, etc. This first issue will be officially presented at the 4th Africa - Europe Meeting of Bailiffs in Dakar, from 27 to 29 April 2016, dedicated to discussions among professionals on the prospects of harmonizing civil procedures on execution at the global level. On this occasion, the 20th anniversary of the Dakar Appeal, launched following the first meeting of execution professionals in the African Continent, will be celebrated.
