Abstract
In the world of academia, there are individuals who stand as beacons of inspiration, mentorship, and unwavering commitment to the pursuit of knowledge. Professor Willemien du Plessis, a stalwart in the field of law and an esteemed academic for over three decades at the North-West University, is unequivocally one such luminary. Her journey through the realms of land and customary law issues in South Africa has not only left an indelible mark on her students and colleagues but has also had a profound impact on the broader legal community. As she prepares to embark on a well-deserved retirement, we, the colleagues and peers whose lives she has touched, take it upon ourselves to celebrate her exceptional contributions with this special edition.
在学术界,有些人是灵感的灯塔、良师益友和追求知识的坚定承诺。维勒米安-杜普莱西斯(Willemien du Plessis)教授是法学界的中坚力量,也是西北大学三十多年来备受尊敬的学者。她在南非土地法和习惯法领域的研究历程不仅给她的学生和同事留下了不可磨灭的印记,也对更广泛的法律界产生了深远的影响。在她准备开始当之无愧的退休生活之际,我们--她曾经感动过的同事和同行--谨以此文纪念她的卓越贡献。
期刊介绍:
PELJ/PER publishes contributions relevant to development in the South African constitutional state. This means that most contributions will concern some aspect of constitutionalism or legal development. The fact that the South African constitutional state is the focus, does not limit the content of PELJ/PER to the South African legal system, since development law and constitutionalism are excellent themes for comparative work. Contributions on any aspect or discipline of the law from any part of the world are thus welcomed.
