The fifth volume of the Kent Student Law Review (KLSR), a student-led publication showcasing critical legal scholarship at Kent Law School, is now available to read online.
The journal provides a platform for undergraduate and postgraduate law students to have their work peer reviewed and published.
This year’s *Editorial Team comprised nine KLS students led by final-year students George Hill (Editor-in-Chief) and Marilyn Onukwugha (Deputy Editor-in-Chief). They have been working hard behind the scenes, with support from Law School Lecturer Dr Donal Casey, to produce a volume that reflects theoretically informed scholarship. The aim of the journal is to enhance the presence of critical legal thought within academia and to further the philosophy of teaching at Kent Law School.
Articles in the latest edition include:
- ‘The Missing Human in Human Rights Law‘ by Anamika Misra
- ‘Gambling, Risk, and Law: Exploring the changing roles of the individual and the state in a multi-faceted gambling regulation arena‘ by Calum James Murray
- ‘Tricks of the Counter-Trade: An Evaluation of the Utility of Countertrade Transactions in Developing States Through an Analysis of the Sino-Congolese Barter Deal‘ by Marilyn Onukwugha
- ‘Keeping Corruption at ‘Arms’ Length: The scope of the Foreign Corruption Practice Act in Combatting Corruption in the Arms Trade Industry‘ by Nilaza Adhikari
- ‘Degrowth: a sign that something had to change in the development debate‘ by Alessandra Muratori
- ‘In the case of Zimbabwe, is the notion of rule compliance too limiting a lens through which to analyse the normative effects of international human rights law?‘ by Langa Rose Mpofu
The journal was first established in 2013 by founding Editors-in-Chief, Nico Mesiainen and Ayda Tabrizi, with the support of Harley Ronan, former President of the Kent Critical Law Society. The first volume was launched in 2014. The aim was to provide students with the opportunity to enter the world of academia and publishing whilst at undergraduate level, and to support the postgraduate community by affording them the opportunity to have their work published. The founding members also believed the journal would help show the legal community the unique, diverse and intellectual stimulation that is provided to Kent Law School students.
