CALL FOR PAPERS JURIS DIVERSITAS 6 th GENERAL CONFERENCE 15- 17 April 2019 Potchefstroom, South Africa Faculty of Law In partnership with Faculty of Law, North-West University, Potchefstroom, South Africa http://jurisdiversitas.blogspot.com/ and https://www.facebook.com/JurisDiversitas/ Law, Roots & Space The Theme: A couple of lawyers’ old friends: ‘Sources’ and ‘Jurisdictions’.
