DEAN, COLLEGE OF LAW
The College of Law was established in 2002, with a view to paving the way for a brighter future, which we aspire to be full of achievements, despite the present challenges and the successive and accelerating developments in various fields, with their impact on the various aspects of life, especially the legal aspect, with regard to legislation, jurisprudence and judiciary.
Since its inception, the College of Law has paid close attention to the quality of its outputs in the bachelor, master and doctorate degree programs as well as scientific research, publishing and community service. The College is regularly developing its study plans and scientific curricula, combining theory with practice and thus meeting the present changing requirements and the society’s growing various needs of law specialist cadres. Hence, it has attained a prominent position among the various law schools.
Thanks to an elite group of faculty members in various legal specialties that their work has led to producing a generation of competent graduates, capable of shouldering the responsibility and carrying out the duties in various career circles in the public and private sectors, not only in the Kingdom of Bahrain, but also in the various Arab Gulf states, and in the Arab region. This would not have been possible without the University’s continuous support for the College’s efforts over these years, and its keenness to become a scientific beacon, contributing to community service, and the progress and achievements in our beloved Kingdom, the Kingdom of Bahrain.

ABOUT THE COLLEGE
The Council of Trustees has issued Resolution No. 159 on 6th of March, 2002 concerning the establishment of the Faculty of Law to be the minaret of Education and Science in the University of Bahrain. Before the establishment of the Faculty of Law, the study of law was limited to a section established in 1999 in the faculty of Business Administration. The faculty of law aspires to be the center of legal education in the Kingdom of Bahrain in the light of the rapid developments of the legal domain.
Since its establishment, the faculty understands that education, science, creativity, invention and development are important and essential tools for achieving the goals of the educational policy in Bahrain. This is reflected on its law curricula and its scientific contents. The faculty’s curricula are taught in two sections, namely Private Law section and Public Law section. The faculty pays high regard to comprise theoretical study and practical study. This is evident in its teaching methods, design of the faculty’s building and the rooms dedicated for the practical training (moot courts).
The Faculty of Law, University of Bahrain, achieves its educational mission by qualifying its students to work in legislative, legal, and judicial authorities and institutions, by providing them with science and practical legal knowledge.
