SUMMARY:Void for Vagueness Doctrine: Unpacking the Constitutionality of Sedition Laws
DESCRIPTION:In the administration of justice\, the judiciary is faced with interpreting the country’s laws in compliance with the Constitution. In a world where many legislatures have maintained\, reinforced\, or reintroduced laws that fall within the parameters of the vagueness doctrine\, the role of the judiciary in unflinchingly protecting citizens from such laws is of critical importance. Using the example of colonial-era sedition offences\, the webinar will unpack how courts have recently used the doctrine of void for vagueness in different jurisdictions. Sedition laws are frequently used against a broad range of speech and conduct critical of governments. \nRegister in advance for this webinar: \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_xLVk9yKYTKKVIiUStjVJ5A

SUMMARY:Using strategic litigation as an advocacy tool to improve adolescent access to Sexual Reproductive Health Services and Rights
DESCRIPTION:Many problems affecting adolescent access to SRH services\, information and rights are due to the state of the law; either the absence of laws enabling access or where laws exist\, ineffective or absent implementation due to lack of knowledge or understanding of the law and also legal barriers to access like the imposition of criminal sanctions on adolescents and unclear age of consent laws. \nJoin us for an informative session facilitated by the Southern Africa Litigation Centre to explore how lawyers can utilise strategic litigation as a tool for advocacy in improving the legal environment affecting adolescent SRHR. \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER
