Albert Sachs sa preslávil svojou kľúčovou úlohou pri formovaní juhoafrickej legislatívy po apartheidovej ére, najmä svojou prácou na Ústavnom súde.

Jeho pôsobenie podčiarklo oddanosť spravodlivosti ako dynamickej sile spoločenskej zmeny, čím zanechal nesmazateľnú stopu v ústavnom práve.

Tackling the burning issues that face our country today, he argues that the Constitution is a framework for struggle and decolonization that can be used to bring about land reform and true equality"--
