Our Objectives
Dean's Message
Greetings, future lawyers, and welcome to the Faculty of Law at the International University of East Africa – a training ground for the best emerging legal minds. My name is Emmanuel Sebijjo Ssemmanda, and I would like to tell you about our Bachelor of Laws programme.
A lawyer, also known as an attorney, barrister, or solicitor, is a licensed professional who advises and represents clients in legal matters. Clients may range from individuals and companies to governments, parastatals, non-governmental organisations, and international organisations. Equally, legal matters may range from business, land or family matters to constitutional, human rights or criminal matters.
To thoroughly understand how laws and legal systems work and to emerge as the best legal minds, law students must choose the best legal training.
At our Faculty of Law, we provide exactly that. From Intellectual Property Law to Computers and the Law, you will learn about the most important resource of modern times: technology. From Constitutional Law to International Law, your thought process will be cultivated to dissect critical legal issues of democracy, governance and politics at home and on the international scene. From Contract Law to Banking Law, you will understand the legal principles underlying major business transactions and how they are financed. From Human Rights Law to Environmental Law, you will see how our liberties are regulated and how the future of our precious planet can best be protected. And from Petroleum Law to Mining Law, you will be introduced to the legal dynamics of our region’s most valuable discovery: Oil & Gas.
The International University of East Africa understands that Law students undertake significant research and require dedicated study space. Accordingly, the Faculty of Law has a well-stocked library exclusively reserved for Law students. We also understand that Law students must nurture their debating and advocacy skills from an early stage. On that account, the University has provided a well-designed Moot Court for our Law students. Academics aside, we understand the value of extra-curricular activities as well as social and networking skills to the full development of a Law student. As such, we have launched a student-led Law Society with the mandate to foster cohesion among Law Students through social events and special activities. This Society was launched by the Hon. Chief Justice, Alfonse Owiny-Dollo.
The jewel in the crown, however, is our impressive collection of remarkable legal practitioners and scholars who will groom your understanding of the Law in a delicate step-by-step process at every level of your four-year journey at our Faculty of Law. It will be my greatest pleasure to welcome you onto our virtual campus and, in the future, through our doors, as you take your first step into a distinguished future of legal practice and scholarship at the International University of East Africa.
