Summary

Personal Details

  • Date of birth: 27/12/2003
  • Nationality: South African

Personal Profile

I am deeply interested in family law, including marriage, divorce, estate planning, and related matters, particularly because of the lack of accessible information in this area. I am also keen to explore criminal law and procedure, recognizing that a strong understanding of these fields enhances the handling of family law cases, especially those involving domestic violence, child abuse, custody disputes, and other instances where criminal behavior impacts family dynamics. Through my research, I aim to highlight how criminal law can inform and improve family law practices, focusing on the intersection between these areas and their practical implications. My passion for legal research is driven by a commitment to making legal knowledge more accessible and impactful, particularly in the context of social justice and public service.
