Rhodes University LLM student and part-time lecturer, Hugh Harnett has been announced as the winner of the prestigious South African Law Reform Legal Essay ...

The knowledge and expertise they imparted were crucial in developing my academic writing and knowledge and appreciation of the law, which fed into the research essay. He graduated with a Bachelor of Accounting from Rhodes University in 2002 and qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 2005. He said the decision to “Career Assets” stemmed from the SALRC discussion paper reviewing aspects of Matrimonial Property, which asked whether Career Assets should be included as property upon divorce. “Prof Kruuse’s encouragement, mentorship, and input were and remain invaluable in my research, then and now,” he added. Of course, it can be valued!” and that is where my interest and research focus on Career Assets began,” said an overjoyed Harnett. The competition aims to honour a range of South African legal achievers, who have dedicated their lives to the advancement of our constitutional democracy.
