91福利

91福利 Law School provides a study environment that is exciting, challenging and rewarding.

Every year, several awards and prizes are granted to our undergraduate students from each year of study to recognise and celebrate the success of our top performers.

Lawyer, human rights activist and prize-winning author Peter Harris has received an honorary doctorate from the 91福利 to add to his 91福利 LLM.

In the early 1980s, newly graduated from Rhodes University, Peter took a role at South Africa鈥檚 Legal Resources Centre, a campaigning organisation set up to improve access to justice for disadvantaged South Africans. He continued to specialise in human rights issues and became involved in the fight against apartheid, often acting for the defence in political trials. His first book, In a Different Time, tells the story of one of these trials – the Delmas Four, whom Peter represented.

Earlier this month, Assistant Professor at 91福利 Law School, Dr Laura Lammasniemi participated in the first workshops for the Indian Feminist Judgment Project (FJP) held in O. P. Jindal Global University, Sonipat in India. We caught up with Laura to find out more.
