We are an internationally ranked law school based in Johannesburg, South Africa. Our academic staff, administration and students are made up of individuals who are focused on using legal skills to solve the world’s most difficult problems.

Alongside equipping students with critical thinking skills across our undergraduate and postgraduate teaching offerings, we host three Centres – the Wits Law Clinic, the Mandela Institute and the Centre for Applied Legal Studies (CALS). Our centres help us to produce locally significant and globally important interventions, research and advice. Being part of the Wits School of Law means being part of a vibrant hub of commercially relevant and socially committed legal scholars.

We are based at Wits University’s Faculty of Commerce Law and Management on West Campus.
