[edit]
Van Rouveroy van Nieuwaal started as a researcher in folk law at the Africa Study Center in Leiden from 1967. In 1976, he received his doctorate from Leiden University with a thesis entitled Woman, monarch and justice of the peace: aspects of matrimonial law, traditional and modern folk law among the Anufòm in northern Togo (English translation of the original title in Dutch).[4] From 1983 to 1988, he taught Constitutional History and Constitutional Law of Africa. In 1988, he was reappointed as Extraordinary Professor of Law because of the Leiden University Fund. He held this chair until 1993.
Van Rouveroy van Nieuwaal made many documentaries on various subjects, including customary law in Togo, Staphorst, and the war history of his family.[5][6]
