3 Strathmore L. Rev. vii (2018)

handle is hein.journals/strathlwrv3 and id is 1 raw text is: Editorial Building on precedent yet maintaining an ever-evolving brand is a difficult feat, yet the Strathmore Law Review has managed it with a grace and innovativeness that underscores the latest review This is the third volume and the first to be curated without the Founding Board Members. Their core values have been maintained and exemplified in each of the articles all the while expansion of content has been introduced. The articles in this year's review question and criticise contemporary issues in law in line with the theme; 'Law towards a Better Society'. In The East Afrcan Court of Justice and Human Rights Jurisdiction: Drawing the Line Liza Chula challenges the assumption that the East African Court of Justice has express jurisdiction to deal with human rights cases. The author delves into the court's history and tackles case law that challenged its jurisdiction coming to the conclusion that while it is implied, a clearer statement on the court's jurisdiction to deal with human rights matters needs to be established to avoid grey areas that may impede access to justice. Arnold Nciko's Ignorance of the Law is no Defence: Street Law as a Means to Reconcile this Maxim with the Rule of Law offers the argument that the increased legislation and its complex nature provides a counter to the maxim that ignorance of the law is no defence. The author proffers a simplified method of relating the law to the common man in an attempt, chiefly, to keep him in the loop and to protect him from the aforementioned maxim. Further, he insists that the contribution of the African student in this regard cannot be overlooked. A Game of Code: Challenges of Cyberspace as a Domain of Warfare tackles the rapidly evolving and majorly unregulated area of cyber warfare. The author, Christopher Nyabuto, argues that there is a need to insist on the application of the current International Humanitarian Law framework to the warfare instead of drafting a new set of laws, and a greater commitment by States to consistent legal review of weapons. This third volume introduces the first recent developments section. Cecil Yongo's essay Building an African Academic Law Journal: Some Reflections, examines STRATHMORE LAW REVIEW, JUNE 2018 vii
