The South African Law Journal is a quarterly law journal published by Juta & Co.[1] It is South Africa's leading law journal and the second oldest law journal in the English-speaking world, after the University of Pennsylvania Law Review.[2]
History[edit]
The SALJ was established in Grahamstown in 1884, making it one year older than England's Law Quarterly Review and three years older than the Harvard Law Review.[3] Its first 17 volumes were published under the title Cape Law Journal, before its name was changed to the South African Law Journal in 1901.[3]
Editors[edit]
The SALJ was edited for much of its history at the University of the Witwatersrand Law School, first by Bobby Hahlo, and then for a period of over forty years by Ellison Kahn.[3] Its current managing editor is Graham Glover (Rhodes University).[4] Its full list of managing editors is:[2]
- William Henry Somerset Bell (1884-1896)
- Shepherd Kitchin (1896-1918)
- Robert Howes (1918-1937; honorary editor from 1937 to 1942)
- Cyril Hall (1943-1949)
- R G McKerron (1950-1958)
