The University of Johannesburg’s Faculty of Law continues to lead national and global conversation on the future of law and technology. On Friday, 7 November 2025, the faculty celebrated the launch of The Intersection of the Law and Technological Innovation: In Celebration of 20 Years of the University of Johannesburg, edited by Professor Cayle Lupton, Associate Professor and Director of the Centre for Banking Law, and Professor Philip Stoop from the Department of Mercantile Law.
The event took place at the Johannesburg Business School (JBS) Auditorium and was attended by esteemed guests, including UJ Vice-Chancellor and Principal, Prof Letlhokwa Mpedi, and retired Supreme Court of Appeal Judge Frans Malan.
Welcoming guests to the occasion, Prof Juanita Calitz, Vice-Dean: Research in the Faculty of Law and Programme Director, reflected on the faculty’s commitment to driving the future of legal innovation.
She noted: “But a vision alone is not enough. It needs drivers, substance, and a shared commitment to make it real. And today’s book launch reflects exactly that. The dedication, intellect, and innovative spirit that transform an idea into impact and a vision into reality. This landmark publication reminds us that true innovation is born from teamwork, from scholars, practitioners and visionaries joining forces to shape a more responsive and forward-looking legal world. When great minds unite, the future takes shape.”
