The Faculty of law at the University of Malaya provides a liberal education in law and Jurisprudence for a comprehensive study of law as a scholarly discipline. It also aims to equip students with skills for ethical professional practice and critical examination of law as an element of social organization, social change and justice. The Faculty offers courses leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Laws (LLB), Master of Laws (LLM), Master of Comparative Law (MCL) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). In addition, the University has provisions for the conferment of the degree of Doctor of Laws (LLD).
The academic staff numbers nearly forty. Though the majority of the members of the academic staff are Malaysian, visiting academic staff from a diversity of backgrounds in the common law world and the United States visit the Faculty from time to time to offer special courses and deliver lectures at post-graduate level. Academic standards of the Faculty are maintained through external examiners who have hitherto been chosen from United States, Australia, United Kingdom and other Commonwealth Law Schools and the Malaysian bench.
