Are you a person who respects and wants to know the law and the rule of law, values human rights, likes to meet people from all walks of life, and deal with a wide variety of human conflict?

Law

What’s It About ?

Law is about the principles and regulations of a government and the legislation that is recognised and upheld by the judiciary. Law students study the laws of this country and other countries to develop an understanding of the principles and practices of commercial law, criminal law and constitutional law. Laws tell us what we should and should not do. Laws help to solve disputes and ensure a safe and peaceful society in which people's rights are respected.

Legal education prepares students for admission to legal practice as a lawyer (advocate and solicitor). Law degrees in Malaysia typically consist of civil law subjects, but there are universities that include Syariah Law as a requirement for graduation.
