SSLSJ Hosts Justice Mokgoro!

Posted Mon, 07/28/2008 - 17:04 by Emma Holtmann

Exciting news!

The SSLSJ is proud to invite you to join us for a public debate on the LLB degree, the transformative requirements thereof under the Constitution, and the technical requirements of legal practice. Justice Yvonne Mokgoro will be addressing us on the Constitution and its transformative mandate, while Professor Anton Fagan will be discussing his views on the effect of the Constitution on private law (controversial and engaging views as always!) and Advocate Geoff Budlender will be looking at the requirements of the profession and the LLB's preparation for practice.

Hi Everyone

Anti-xenophobia campaign

Posted Sat, 06/14/2008 - 00:33 by Emma Holtmann

Hello SSLSJ-ers!

Thank you for your enthusiastic response to the call for volunteers to support the Anti-Xenophobia Task Team. There has been an overwhelming and powerful civic response to this disaster and the SSLSJ is proud to be a part of this movement and to be a resource of volunteers for TAC and other organisations co-ordinating relief initiatives. It is for this reason that I am writing to you all again.

Both the TAC and the UCT Refugee Law Clinic have made requests for volunteers over the next few weeks. If you have some time to dedicate towards the various initiatives please contact me by email as soon as possible. The TAC need people in the office working closely with the task team on various projects, while the Law Clinic needs people (preferably law students) to help educate displaced people about their rights - there will be a training session to this end on Monday morning. A few days of work will make an important contribution to the efforts of the communities of Cape Town to protect the rights of people still displaced by the recent violence. You can help.
