Welcome to the Centre for Child Law website!

The Centre for Child Law is based in the Law Faculty at the University of Pretoria. The Centre contributes towards establishing and promoting the best interests of children in our community through education, research, advocacy and litigation.

The Centre established a Children's Litigation Project in August 2003, with a grant from the Open Society Foundation and the International Commission of Jurists (Sweden), in order to undertake impact litigation work in the childrenâs rights sector. Advocate Ann Skelton is the project co-ordinator, and the project is currently dealing with a number of cases.

Please see more about the Litigation Project in About Us.
