The
Journal
of Comparative Law in Africa is a peer-reviewed annual academic legal
journal founded in 2013 and published by the Centre for Comparative Law in
Africa, at the University of Cape Town (South Africa). The Journal is presented
as a bilingual journal (English and French) to address legal issues on the
African continent. It encourages scholars and jurists writing on all fields of
law in Africa using a comparative approach or methodology to submit their
original writings for publication in both languages. The journal welcomes research, conceptual, practice and empirical papers.
Book reviews and viewpoints will also be considered. Submissions which are not
presented in the standard academic article format will not be considered. The
Journal has an editorial board made up of renowned scholars in comparative law,
African law, legal philosophy, commercial law, and many others from different
countries in Africa, Europe, and the United States.
CALL FOR
PAPERS – APPEL A CONTRIBUTION
The
Journal of Comparative Law in Africa (JCLA) is published annually on 30
November. We invite scholars and jurists to submit manuscripts of original
articles for possible publication in any then-current issue of the Journal by
31 July for the November issue. The final decision on whether the manuscript is
accepted for publication in the JCLA is made by its Editorial Board, taking
into consideration the results of two (2) anonymous referees’ review. The
decision of the JCLA Editorial Board will be communicated as early as possible,
usually no later than three (3) months from the submission. If any of the
referees suggests possible revision or addition, the feedback will be conveyed
to the author and a short period will be allowed for revision if the author
wishes to do so.
Manuscripts
should be written in English or French with a summary in the same language and
also, if possible, in the other language, preferably in MS-word file, A4 12
points, using Times New Roman. Please use footnotes (10 points font size)
rather than endnotes. Manuscripts
written in English or French should not be longer than 12000 words, excluding
summary and citations. The summary
should have a maximum word count of 350.
Manuscripts longer than the recommended length will only be considered
for publication on a special basis. The
journal house style and the JUTA publication style will be made available on
the Centre for Comparative Law website www.comparativelaw.uct.ac.za and
upon request or submission of a paper.
