Programme and the Doctor of Philosophy (PHD) Programme. The Univeristy is also empowered to confer the Doctor of Laws (LLD).

In 1972, th Faculty began with an intake of only 50 students. Since 1978, the intake was increased and

has steadily been maintained at an annual figure of about 100 students.

The first batch of law students graduated in 1976. Since then, the graduates of the Faculty of Law, University of Malaya, comprise illustrious alumni who are currently in the Judicial and Legal Services

sector, the Governmnet, in Parliament and in the legal and corporate sectors. A number of alumni opted to ramin with the Faculty. These are those who had gone on to do their postgraduate degrees, joined the

Faculty as academic staff.

The Faculty’s staff strength is about 40. Although the m,ajority of them are Malaysian citizens, from time to time the Faculty receives visiting academics from other common law countries such as India, Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States. The visiting Faculty members deliver lectures and seminars to students, particularly at the postgraduate level. External examiners appointed by the faculty are drawn

from illustrious members of academia from Australia, the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth countries and from the Judicial Service of Malaysia and they ensure that the academic standards of its

programmes are maintained.

External arm of the Faculty under the Legal Ecudation Extension Programme (LEEP).

Under the LEEP, the Faculty continues to provide legal education to those who have graduated and practice, or in other legal careers. LEEP was initiated by the Faculty of Law in 1993 to provide a series

of short courses on specific areas of law. The rationale for the initiation of the programme was based on the premise that the role of the Law Faculty should be extended to frontiers beyond merely serving the needs of matriculated students. Due to the dynamic character of law, and the developmental milestones that are fast impacting the law, there is a need to continually keep abreasestof the developments, not just in the academic realm but also to disseminate the developments to the practice world. LEEP courses are tus designed to meet the needs of both legal professionals who wish to keep abreast of the recent

developments, as well as other interested individuals and corporations. The course coordinators are sourced from a pool of academicians, legal practitioners, judiciary and other legal professional
