Abstract
This is the fourth edition of the I·CONnect-Clough Center Global Review of Constitutional Law. This 2019 Global Review assembles detailed but relatively brief reports on constitutional developments and cases in 73 jurisdictions during the past calendar year. The reports are authored by academic and/or judicial experts, and often the reports are co-authored by judges and scholars. The reports in this first-of-its-kind volume offer readers systematic knowledge that, previously, has been limited mainly to local networks rather than a broader readership.

The Gambia: In focus
The year 2019 saw The Gambia move from setting up key institutions such as the Constitutional Review Commission (CRC), Truth Reconciliation, and Reparations Commission (TRRC) and the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) to actualising the key transitional justice standards required to restore rule of law and democracy in the country.
This report gives a brief overview of constitutional developments and major constitutional law cases in 2019 and looks at the way forward for The Gambia in 2020.
