Biography

Mphathi received her BA-LAW and LLB degrees from the University of Witwatersrand (Wits), and her Masters in Constitutional & Administrative Law (LLM) from the University of Cape Town. Their passions as an undergraduate student were human rights, politics, international relations, and African literature. During the year she completed their Masters at UCT, she developed a passion for an area of law called Law & Society, which examines the way laws really work in social settings and societies.

Mphathi has had the privilege of combining all her passions and has begun doing most of her research in the field of Jurisprudence (Legal Philosophy). This is also the field in which she has chosen to pursue her doctoral studies. Jurisprudence continues to draw heavily on her background in constitutional law, human rights, and law & society, while providing a more critical focus on the philosophies and thinking that underlie law-making processes.
