The South African legal system comprises a number of court structures, including: the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, the highest court of appeal on non-constitutional matters; provincial and local divisions of the Supreme Court; and lower courts. The Constitutional Court has national jurisdiction, being charged with the protection, interpretation and enforcement of the Constitution. A number of Special Courts deal exclusively with specific matters such as land claims and small claims.
Lex Africa is a network of leading law firms which grew from the need for law firms in member countries to be in a position to provide their clients, both local and international, with legal and business advice in whichever jurisdiction they might find themselves.
