Welcome to SLSJ UWC
Students for Law and Social Justice has a promising and exciting year lined up for UWC law students who endeavor to make the most of their LLB. The onset of 2014 brings on board a vibrant new committee who endeavor to tackle their tasks head on. Having persevered through the numerous obstacles of 2012 and 2013, our programmes and promises of community outreach and student development have been forged with greater clarity and direction.
Our Seminar Schools are geared at broadening the horizons of law students by putting the attorney into context of the greater legal fraternity. Our community workshops aim to educate and empower less privileged communities equipping them to enforce their fundamental rights and the rule of law. The Student Advice Clinic initiative will provide a practical element to the LLB. Students are given the opportunity to sharpen their legal tools for practice whilst alleviating the pains associated with the social and legal injustices which plague our communities.
SLSJ is national student organization which was founded at the University of the Western Cape. This I can assure you is no coincidence. At the core of SLSJ lies student, community, legal and social development. These values lie not only at the centre of our honorable law faculty but at the very heart of the ideology of our prestige’s institution. The University of the Western Cape endeavors to leave an unrivaled legacy and it with this vision which SLSJ is aligned.
