Research and insight into legal issues about medical law and ethics, medical jurisprudence and health care law, forensic medicine, forensic psychiatry and psychology, psychopharmacology bioethics, telemedicine, and any other related field or subject are the Center's chosen areas of focus.  With effect from early 2014, the Center is working to develop an annual medico-legal magazine, The South African Magazine of Law and Medicine, and focuses on self-initiated research projects on pertinent legal issues. Additionally, the Center communicates with similar organizations and specialists from throughout the world, both inside and outside of South Africa.
