In 2010, the Faculty of Law, University of Pretoria, received funding from the World Bank to cover the costs of IDF Grant TF 090558: Enhancing Access to Legal Information – a grant between the World Bank and the Faculty of Law. The core activity under this project was the production by the Pretoria University Law Press (PULP) of a series of books on comparative African law, entitled the Rule of Law in Africa Series.

This project culminated in the PULP/World Bank Book Launch of the 'Rule of Law in Africa' series which took place on Tuesday the 20th of March 2012 at the Plant Sciences Building at the University of Pretoria.

The launch started with a welcome address by Prof Andre Borain, the Dean of the Law Faculty, then the vice Principal Prof Robin Crewe offered his words in support of PULP. This was followed by an overview of PULP and World Bank project presented by Prof Danie Brand on behalf of PULP. Subsequently a panel of speakers made of authors and editors of the books were given the opportunity to present their work and finally Prof Frans Viljoen, the Director of the Centre for Human Rights, offered a vote of thanks and refreshments were served.
