The National Law Journal

Our vision is to be a leading Social Sciences and Humanities Research journal in South Sudan that encourages and publishes material that is of scholarly depth, precision, and independence, and at the same time readable and engaging. Our Objective
(i) To encourage the application of ideas from other jurisdictions in South Sudan and around the world;
(ii) To ensure that our insights into our own soc

iety contribute to understanding at the national and international levels;
(iii) To embrace all useful methodologies, including traditional legal argument, social sciences, and work of an empirical or statistical nature;
(iv) To support the investigation of issues through means that include interviews with active participants, as well as the review of documents; the techniques of responsible journalism should not be alien to law journals;
(v) To study the past, the present, and the future. We have published special issues that have recovered and reflected on the lives and contributions of outstanding jurists; we seek to ensure that our volumes are produced quickly enough to reflect current events; the Journal is also a forum for predictions and prescriptions about the future;
(vi) To follow the recommendations of The Truth and Reconciliation Commission with respect to legal education.
