Introduction
The Faculty of Law at The University of the West Indies was established in 1970 and has among its graduates distinguished members of the bar, the bench and the legal academic community. These include Chief Justices, Directors of Public Prosecution and Attorneys General who continue to excel regionally and internationally. In 2009 the University took the decision to expand the teaching of law at Mona and St Augustine, and in 2011 Mona graduated its first graduates who had read for all years of the LLB at the Mona Campus. Additionally, in 2012, the University re-introduced Part I of the LLB programme at the Western Jamaica Campus.
MonaLaw remains committed to continuing the tradition of excellence in legal education that was established in 1970. The Faculty is made up of highly trained teachers and researchers from the, region and overseas. Already, MonaLaw has successfully launched a series of guest lectures by well-known scholars, introduced the MonaLaw Series (seminars on issues of interest to the wider University Community), participated successfully in International Mooting exercises, has been engaged in the work of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ), and its scholars have published several new books and many articles in scholarly journals.
