About the Journal

The African Journal of Law and Practice (AJLP) is a newly established publication, replacing the former Open University Law Journal. AJLP is a peer-reviewed academic journal committed to becoming one of the most reputable legal journals in its field. It is published quarterly and addresses a wide range of legal issues related to African law, legal practice, and law and development in Africa. AJLP specializes exclusively in legal issues and welcomes both doctrinal and empirical submissions that offer thought-provoking analysis of legal matters affecting communities, with a focus on legal reforms across the African continent. Additionally, it publishes manuscripts that apply a comparative approach and have broader implications for knowledge sharing and contribution.
