The African Journal of Legal Research is a fully-refereed reviewed Journal which sets out to deepen research and scholarship opportunities within and outside the continent of Africa. The journal is international in outlook and seeks to improve the status quo in terms of deepening the values of academics towards the promotion of legal research in order to bridge the Trans – generational gaps and encourage legal scholars within the African Continent to join in promotion of legal research for African social, economic and political developments. Contributions generally address issues of legal research and contemporary issues of comparative law.
