Afrika Law Review: Volume 1

AfLR, a publication of Fordham University Press, is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to high-quality scholarship on African law, governance and justice. We publish original research, critical essays, and policy-facing analysis that advances scholarly debate and practical understandings of law across the continent. Our aim is to amplify diverse voices, promote interdisciplinary approaches, and foster dialogue between academics, practitioners and policymakers.

Distinctive in its direct connection to the African legal community, the Afrika Law Review amplifies African voices and perspectives while engaging with global legal discourse. It is the only African law journal based in the United States, uniquely positioned to bridge scholarship between Africa and the wider world.

We publish high-quality articles across a broad spectrum of legal disciplines, welcoming contributions from distinguished scholars, judges, practitioners, policymakers, and outstanding students.
