At Edulaw, we’re here to shake up legal education in South Africa. Co-founded by Roxanne Shear (@theroaminglawyer on Instragram) and Mónica de Oliveira, the team at Edulaw know exactly how overwhelming, isolating and (quite frankly) confusing the legal field is, because they’ve stood where you are now.

Roxanne and Monica are both admitted attorneys who have hands on experience in civil litigation, debt recoveries, and commercial law.

As young attorneys we understand the practical challenges that young professionals face when stepping into real-world legal practice.

Together, we’re a new generation of lawyers focused on closing the gap between legal theory and practice.

Through free resources, a no-nonsense podcast and Newsletter (The Learned Colleagues Club), and our growing online learning platform, we’re building the skills for legal practice you actually need and not just what’s in textbooks.

Our mission is simple: make legal education in South Africa accessible, affordable, and relatable for students, graduates, candidate attorneys, and young professionals and in doing so, we want create a community where you’re never alone.

Don’t just survive your legal career — thrive in it
