Leman served an LDS mission in Uganda (1997–99), when the conflict with the Lord’s Resistance Army was particularly intense. He has since closely followed and conducted

research into the nature and origins of this particular conflict. His latest publication is “African Oral Law and the Critique of Colonial Modernity in The Trial of Jomo Kenyatta” (Law and Literature, Vol. 23, No. 1, 2011). He received a PhD in English from the University of California—Irvine.
