The first set of Law Undergraduates commenced their studies in the Faculty in the 1983/84 session.

At the Undergraduate level, the curriculum of studies in the Faculty is designed to produce law graduates who will contribute meaningfully to societal development and meet the expectations of the society. The Faculty teaches law with adaptation to social, political and economic changes in the society and inculcates in student, the need to understand law in the context of its functioning in society.

The Faculty aims at satisfying the yearnings of various categories of students who include prospective Practitioners, Administrators in public and private sectors of the economy and international agencies.

However, it is acknowledge that the whole of legal knowledge cannot be imparted to students while in the Faculty. In respect therefore, student are expected to build upon the diverse knowledge acquired at the Faculty after their graduation.

It is also the policy of the Faculty to encourage legal research. This is because it constitutes valuable assets in any Lawyer’s resource. The Undergraduate Law Programme, therefore requires students in their final year to submit well-researched and carefully supervised Long Essays on any Law topic of interest.

The Law Faculty is cognizant of the special counseling needs of Law student regarding academic, social and personal problems. The latter is particularly significant in view of the peculiar nature of Olabisi Onabanjo University. The Faculty has, therefore, fashioned a Tutoring/Counselling Scheme, which complements the Guidance and Counselling Unit of the University.

In addition to the pursuit of academic excellence, students are also encouraged, through a strong Law Society to participate in practical experiments like in Law Debates, Moot Courts and Seminars. In this respect, the Faculty is aided to qualified and experienced Lawyers resident within and around the location of the Faculty.

Campus of the University. Efforts have been made to attain adequate office facilities for
