Tell Me About The Joel Joffe LLB Scholarships 2025:

These scholarships are offered in memory of Joel Joffe, who was Nelson Mandela’s lawyer in the 1963/4 Rivonia Trial. He played a crucial role in the struggle for democracy in South Africa. The Trust continues to build on its legacy, inspiring others to do as much as possible to realise human rights and reduce poverty.
