UJ Law Library, first in South Africa, selected as a repository for international private and commercial law
The Law Library at the University of Johannesburg (UJ) is at the forefront of research opportunities focusing on the ever-changing field of international private and commercial law.
The UJ Law Library, selected by Mr José Angelo Estrella Faria, the Secretary General of UNIDROIT (International Institute for the Unification of Private Law) as a repository library for UNIDROIT documents and publications in August 2014, already received the first consignment of UNIDROIT documents and publications, including the Uniform Law Review.
Says Prof Jan Neels, Director of the Research Centre for Private International Law in Emerging Countries, UJ: “The Law Library is the first university library in South Africa to be appointed as such and it is also the only law library in the country that was earlier chosen as a repository library for the Hague Conference on Private International Law.”
