approach to law as an academic discipine. The faculty also equips students with practical professional
skills and professional ethics including a critical study of laws to satisfy the needs of organisations, social
changes and justice.
Since its inception in 1972, the Faculty offers its Bachelor of Laws programme at the undergraduate level
(LLB). The LLB programme represents a combination of the academic and professional discipine which
entitiles the holder of the degree to be admitted as an advocance and solicitor of the High Court at hte
end of his 9-month pupillage internship.
The Faculty of Law also offers the Master of Laws Programme (LLM) consisting of the Master of Laws by
Coursework and Dissertation. In addition, the Faculty also offers the Masters in Criminal Justice (MCJ)
Programme and the Doctor of Philosophy (PHD) Programme. The Univeristy is also empowered to confer
the Doctor of Laws (LLD).
In 1972, th Faculty began with an intake of only 50 students. Since 1978, the intake was increased and
has steadily been maintained at an annual figure of about 100 students.
The first batch of law students graduated in 1976. Since then, the graduates of the Faculty of Law,
University of Malaya, comprise illustrious alumni who are currently in the Judicial and Legal Services
sector, the Governmnet, in Parliament and in the legal and corporate sectors. A number of alumni opted
to ramin with the Faculty. These are those who had gone on to do their postgraduate degrees, joined the
Faculty as academic staff.
The Faculty’s staff strength is about 40. Although the m,ajority of them are Malaysian citizens, from time
to time the Faculty receives visiting academics from other common law countries such as India, Australia,
the United Kingdom and the United States. The visiting Faculty members deliver lectures and seminars to
students, particularly at the postgraduate level. External examiners appointed by the faculty are drawn
from illustrious members of academia from Australia, the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth
countries and from the Judicial Service of Malaysia and they ensure that the academic standards of its
programmes are maintained.
The Faculty also conducts the Bachelor of Jurisprudence (External) programme, a programme set up to
unable working adults to acquire a law degree. The programme is entirely done by private study while
the Faculty handles the registration of students and the examination matters. Degrees are awarded by
the University of Malaya at an annual convocations. To assist in the preparation for the course and the
examinations, the Faculty conducts introductory and rivision courses for the students conducted by the
External arm of the Faculty under the Legal Ecudation Extension Programme (LEEP).
Under the LEEP, the Faculty continues to provide legal education to those who have graduated and
practice, or in other legal careers. LEEP was initiated by the Faculty of Law in 1993 to provide a series
of short courses on specific areas of law. The rationale for the initiation of the programme was based on
the premise that the role of the Law Faculty should be extended to frontiers beyond merely serving the
needs of matriculated students. Due to the dynamic character of law, and the developmental milestones
that are fast impacting the law, there is a need to continually keep abreasestof the developments, not
just in the academic realm but also to disseminate the developments to the practice world. LEEP courses
are tus designed to meet the needs of both legal professionals who wish to keep abreast of the recent
developments, as well as other interested individuals and corporations. The course coordinators are
sourced from a pool of academicians, legal practitioners, judiciary and other legal professional
consultant.
