About the Journal

The Pretoria Student Law Review (PSLR) at the University of Pretoria is a student-driven initiative that provides an interactive forum for students, academics, and legal professionals to discuss topical matters. The approach is experimental, investigative, and sometimes challenging - it is not conventional. South Africa, the continent and the world at large are on the cusp of a new era - socially, economically, and politically. With uncertainties that the future holds, law students are at the duty to utilise the unique position that they are in to challenge the status quo students must not be complacent focused on they must strive for the enforcement of the rule of law. Students are encouraged to be relentless in their search for truth and justice. The PSLR provides a forum for critical thinking, argument, and debate.

The pretoria student law review is the only south african student- driven journal that publishes annually.

Gender and the Law

This special section will spotlight the intersections between Gender and the law in an effort to explore the complexities of this relationship and its societal implications. Thus, authors are invited to submit papers on socio-legal gender, across all areas of law.
