Turf Law Journal

About the Journal

The Turf Law Journal is an open access, peer-reviewed journal published by the School of Law, University of Limpopo (South Africa). The purpose of the journal is to give a platform for high quality research on transformative perspectives about law in South Africa. While the journal is mainly seeking to respond to legal questions in South Africa, comparative perspectives from Africa and beyond are most welcome. The journal further welcomes contributions that take multi- and inter-disciplinary perspectives to law. In particular, the journal is targeting high quality research from emerging scholars and non-conventional perspectives from established researchers.

10-12-2025

It is with great pleasure that we, as the editorial team, announce the journal's news as the year-end nears. We have received confirmation from DAOJ that TLJ has been approved for inclusion in the DOAJ Index. For context, DOAJ is one of the DHET-recognised international indices for research subsidy purposes. The DOAJ indexing follows the journal's AJOL and EBSCOhost indexing. As the editorial team, we are grateful to all stakeholders – authors, reviewers, language editors, typesetters – for this significant milestone. We have begun applications for indexing with other international indexers, in line with our goal of making the journal a high-impact, internationally recognised publication.
