Justification for a new law journal

The immediate question that dashes to any researcher’s mind when a new journal breaks into the research space is: why have a new journal? The question is natural because South Africa is comparatively endowed with many journals across disciplines, and law in particular. 1 There is no gainsaying that South Africa is home to some of the most prestigious journals across disciples globally. In the African continent, South Africa is doing relatively well with research output. Thus, it may be somewhat convincingly argued that perhaps South Africa does not need new journals; it needs new ideas.
