With a distinguished faculty and state-of-the-art  facilities, students receive top-notch legal education that prepares  them for successful careers.

Though only a decade old, the Faculty of Law at the  University of Astral  is amongst the premier institutions offering  the LLB programme .  Since its inception, it has consistently  punched above its weight due to the phenomenal dedication of its  academics, both home-grown and internationally recruited.  Members of  the Faculty have included a Queen’s Counsel, a Court of Appeal judge,  and individuals who have held national appointments and are qualified to  practice in  other jurisdictions.

We have partnerships with sister universities and  law-related organisations in Germany, South Africa, Europe and the USA.  We look forward  to establishing similar partnerships with other institutions worldwide,  particularly in the Caribbean. Whilst appreciating the importance of  being globally aware, where possible, the Faculty adopts approaches that  seek to decolonise the teaching and learning of law.

Our Alumni have found success in private or in-house  legal practice, the Judicial Service, the Attorney General’s Office,  the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Parliament.  Many have also found  success in the corporate world, NGOs and have gone on to undertake  Master’s and Doctoral programmes locally and in countries such as  Switzerland, South Africa, and the USA.

Our students are intellectually curious, committed  to community service and passionate about social justice.  They  undertake mandatory internships, participate in practical legal  experiences such as moot court competitions and the National Law  Challenge, and engage in experiential learning through field trips to  various locations such as prisons, the ports and parliament.

We pride ourselves on providing an environment which  will contribute to the personal and professional growth of our students  and provide them with the legal knowledge and soft skills to become  excellent lawyers as well as tomorrow’s ambassadors, international trade  negotiators, judges, legislators, cabinet ministers, thought leaders,  social commentators, or any other career they choose.
