Department of Jurisprudence and International Law

The department of Jurisprudence like others was chiefly established for administrative convenience. It was also birthed to cater for the academic needs of the students and staff alike ranging from the contribution of knowledge to law students and graduates of the Faculty and even other Faculties of the University to the distribution of valuable information to students.

It has also helped to imbibe and encourage research attitude in the lives of students and staff and this it has achieved this through the publication of Departmental Journals aimed at the discussion and enlightenment of the public concerning contemporary issues as it affects the world today.

The department also owes an administrative duty to staff and students of the Faculty of Law, thereby helping to pivot the affairs of the Faculty and the University for without administration, the machinery of government would be stalled.

In the same vein, the department is responsible to all staff and students and the Head of Department is answerable to the Dean of the Faculty as the departments operate a notional system in that none of them is independent.

The department has a head who is responsible for administration and its day-to-day operations and who consequently answers to the Dean of the Faculty.

The department also has a Departmental Board which takes decisions and actions on academic matters.

The Department of Jurisprudence and international Law adopt the committee system which the University largely operates. The Head of Department as well as the Departmental Board constitute Committees to address problems which may arise. Reports of such Committees are usually submitted to the Head of Department.
