Jacques Vanderlinden never learned Law, but began observing and studying laws in Western European history (and occasionally beyond) in 1953. He then turned his attention to African colonial laws on a comparative basis in 1956 and to 芦聽originally African聽禄 (a term he coined) laws in 1959, having just started a teaching career. Ten years later, he accepted, by moral necessity (and at the same time learning that such concept existed), to prepare the descriptive synthesis of papers prepared for an aborted conference on the subject of legal pluralism. At that time, he had taught Law in Addis Ababa (5 years), Boston (1 semester), Edinburgh (2 semesters), Kinshasa (2 years), combining these assignments with his regular courses at the Free University of Brussels in African, American and European institutions and laws in a contemporary or historical perspective. He retired from the Free University of Brussels at age 60 as a professor emeritus and received the same title from the University of Moncton after 17 years devoted there to the teaching of the common law in French, Amerindian law and the legal history of Acadia. He definitely retired in 2008. He was once truly described as a butterfly in the constellation of laws and some absent-minded persons elected him a full fellow of the Royal Academy for Overseas Sciences and the International Academy for Comparative Law, as well as a foreign fellow of the Italian Accademia nazionale dei Lincei. His inmost self is that of a skeptical student and teacher, certainly not of of what one calls a scholar, a learned man, nor a master.
