A group of law students and young lawyers across Africa on Tuesday, December 16, launched a continental law journal.
Dubbed the “Rolihlahla Africa Law Journal (RAfriLJ)“, it is a peer-reviewed journal keen on promoting scholarship among students and young lawyers.
The inaugural edition features five papers from Ghana and Kenya and includes articles covering commercial law, climate change, copyright, criminal prosecutions, and constitutional issues.
The journal is aimed not only at advancing scholarship but also at pushing for purposeful change across the continent towards development.
This vision inspires the name of the journal, “Rolihlahla”, a Xhosa term which translates to “pulling the branch of a tree” or, more figuratively, changing narratives.
The journal thus seeks to feature persuasive papers which advocate positive change on the continent.
The Rolihlahla Africa Law Journal is being spearheaded by Oswald K. Azumah (Ghana), Gloria Mmasi Sisia (Kenya), and Eli K. Dei (Ghana), former International President of the Federation of African Law Students (FALAS).
Editor in chief, Mr Azumah, indicated the next issue is scheduled for the first quarter of 2026.
