University of Nairobi – School of Law
The premier Law Faculty has evolved steadily from its earlier status as a mere department of the Faculty of Commerce in the 1960s, to a small but full-fledged Law Faculty in 1970, and is now one of the largest law schools in East and Central Africa. From the very beginning of its activities, the main task has been to train lawyers for the practice of Law in its multifaceted aspects. The School provides intending lawyers with the knowledge of the law required in professional practice, commerce and industry and central and local government services.
Today, the School of Law (Parklands Campus) has academic staff strength of 67 Lecturers, Senior Lecturers and Professors.Currently, there are 1,397undergraduate students. Every year, over 500 students graduate with the Bachelor of Laws degree (LL.B).
