visitors to the LRF stand at ZIBF
The LPU has continued to offer support for LRF programmes through the production of plainly written IEC
materials for distribution to beneficiaries. The publication of legal texts remained largely stalled pending the
harmonisation of the laws with the Constitution.
Legal Texts
Zimbabwe Law Report 2012 (2)
700 copies
Magistrates Civil Court Rules
62 copies
Zimbabwean Law of Delict

Zimbabwe Law Reports Online
The LRF entered into an agreement with Juta Publishers to have the Zimbabwe Law Reports available online from 1980 to date. This involved sending all reports
from 2000 to date to Juta for conversion. The project
is due to be completed in March 2016 and will then be
launched.
Multi-media initiatives
The LRF’s website has maintained a dynamic face with
new material uploaded every week or two. LRF also
launched its Facebook page which has now garnered
694 “likes”.
