Francois du Bois is Professor of Law at the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom. He has a long-standing research interest in both legal transplantation and the horizontal application of constitutional/fundamental rights.

His books include Dignity, Freedom and the Post-Apartheid Legal Order (2009) with Jaco Barnard and Drucilla Cornell; Justice and Reconciliation in Post-Apartheid South Africa (2008) with Antje du Bois-Pedain; and The Practice of Integrity: Reflections on Ronald Dworkin and South African Law (2005).
