HISTORY OF THE PROGRAMME/SUB-DISCIPLINE/DISCIPLINE A brief history of the development of the Programme/Sub-discipline/Discipline to be accredited: The Faculty of Law was established at the beginning of the 19991/1992 session in the then Ondo State University, Ado-Ekiti. It was established to meet the yearnings of the teeming population of Ondo State indigenes and others who want to have access to legal education. Accordingly, the Faculty sees it as its role to provide a qualitative university education in law for its students. This Faculty, together with the entire University had to move to Akungba-Akoko in December 1999 following the bifurcation of the then Ondo State University when Ekiti state that had earlier been created out of the old Ondo State took over the University that was located within her territory. Upon its movement to Akungba-Akoko, the Faculty had to start afresh. The Faculty has redesigned its curriculum to be in consonance with current trends in legal education. It now has four departments to boost research and specialization.

6. Programmes Development CommitteeThe Faculty has 15 full-time academic staff consisting of 2 Professors, 4 Senior Lecturers, 3 Lecturer 1, 5 Lecturers II and 1 Assistant Lecturer. The Faculty makes use of part-time Lecturers to compliment its staffing position. There are 8 part-time lecturers consisting of 2 professors, 2 Readers, 3 Senior Lecturers. There are 12 non-teaching members of staff. The Dean of the Faculty coordinates the activities of the Faculty in consultation with the Heads of Departments. He sees to the day-to-day academic and administrative affairs of the Faculty. In doing this, he relies on the committees in the Faculty. (b) Staff involvement in the decision-making process and in general administration The Faculty runs the LL.B degree programme centrally. However, for purposes of research and specialization, there are four departments. The Dean works through the Faculty Committees. The Faculty Board of Studies/Examiners meets regularly. Its major decisions go to the Senate and other statutory bodies of the University. The Dean and all other members of the Faculty Board carry out the implementation of decisions of the Board and other directives from appropriate bodies. With respect to purely administrative matters, the Faculty Officer and the other non-teaching staff are involved in the day-to-day administration of the Faculty. The Dean allocates specific academic/administrative functions to senior members of staff on sessional basis or in accordance with specified schedule of the member of staff appointed to each committee or function. Policy and practice on staff development The Faculty policy is in consonance with the University policy on staff development. Young Lecturers are encouraged to go for higher degrees and other continuing education training. The Faculty also brings to the attention of staff on regular basis avenues for publication of articles. It is hoped that as the Faculty grows, more members of the academic staff would be released on study leave.

Staff promotion The University has laid-down criteria for promotion of staff. The criteria are in conformity with the NUC benchmark. There is annual review of staff by the Faculty Appointment and Promotions Committee. Members of staff who satisfy the laid-down criteria are recommended to the University Appointments and Promotions Board for consideration and approval. See attached copy of Guidelines for staff promotion. Student s’ Welfare The Faculty has a strong Law Students’ Society which liaises with Dean through the Staff Advisers on matters pertaining to their welfare. All students in the Faculty belong to the Law Students’ Society. In addition, the students in the Faculty are divided into ‘Chambers’. There are four of these ‘Chambers’, namely: (i) Akinola Aguda Chambers, (ii) Gani Fawehinmi Chambers, (iii) Justice Kayode Eso Chambers and (iv) Olakunle Orojo Chambers. The ‘Chambers’ encourage competition among the students and they afford avenue for dealing with them in small units. Each Chambers has a Staff Adviser. The idea of naming the chambers after these accomplished members of the profession and jurists is to inspire the students to pursue excellence and distinction. Each level of the programme is assigned a Lecturer who handles results and other interests of the students in that level.

45.2

45.3

Examination There are laid-down University regulations guiding the conduct of Examinations. Students are expected to adhere to these regulations. Breaches of the regulations are promptly addressed and erring students are punished according to the provisions of the regulations. In cases where members of staff are involved, they are equally dealt with under extant University regulations on staff discipline. The Dean is the Chief Examiner for the entire course at present. He is assisted in this role by each Head of Department. The Lecturers assigned to teach the courses set the questions and moderated by the Dean. In this connection, the Dean as Chief Examiner has to ensure that the questions are within the syllabus and of good standard. The Faculty has graduated five sets of Law students in 2004/2005, 2005/2006 , 2006/2007 , 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 sessions. Final year questions are sent to the external examiners for moderation. The final year students are also expected to write Research Project. For this 8

purpose, they will be graded and External Examiners will also moderate the grades. The External Examiners will be required to provide comments on the quality of teaching, content and grading for the courses that they moderate. The examinations are conducted in very conducive atmosphere. There is usually provided enough space between students and adequate number of invigilators are provided. The University also provides central security and health services during examinations.

At the end of each semester, results are compiled and computed centrally through the Computer Centre. The Faculty Board will then consider it and make recommendations to the Business Committee of the Senate for its consideration and to Senate for approval. Upon approval by Senate, neat/clean copies are sent to the Academic Records of the Registry for records and other official uses. It is the result sent by the Academic Records Office that is official. Students are graded on the basis of their performance at the final examination, which may be based on 80% or 70% and continuous assessment, which must not be more than 20% or 30%. The continuous assessment may comprise take home assignment, class test or group work. The University runs the unit course system and students performances at all the examinations and are cumulated for the purpose of the award of the degree. 45.4 Academic Atmosphere The Faculty has programme of seminars, which are presented by members of the Academic Board for comments, criticism and encouragement. Students are allowed to participate at these seminars. The seminars have been very useful and the authority has begun to assemble some others for publication. The Faculty has four lecture rooms for 354 students, this is still adequate and students do conveniently sit to receive lectures. The Faculty has a well-furnished Moot Court room where students hold mock trials. Judges of the High Court and Magistrates are usually invited to help conduct the mock trials. The students participate enthusiastically. They also organize inter chambers debates. The Faculty has introduced Practical training as part of the curriculum. The students have received this warmly. This involves such trainings as interviewing and counseling of clients, opening and managing clients’ files, handling of simulated cases. There is a Legal Clinic for this purpose. The Clinic operates as a general interest access to justice clinic with serious bias for human rights cases, tenancy matters (right to housing) and other issues that affects the vulnerable. The handling of cases is however, pro bono. The Akungba Law Clinic continues to play an important role in making access to justice a reality for many low-income people within its immediate environment. It does this not only by allowing students to the legal problems that the poor face but also by allowing students to experience what amounts to a ‘tactile’ connection with the obligation to find substantive and creative ways to respond to unmet legal needs. Some Lecturers in the Faculty have been exposed to trainings in clinical legal education in South Africa and Nigeria. 9

Each Lecturer also incorporates into his lecture tutorial discussions. This enables the students to discuss legal issues and for the Lecturer to help correct their mistakes. The students are also free to approach their Lecturers for discussion on academic issues. The university has provided a separate library for law students. It can house/accommodate about 300 students at a time. In addition, law students have access to the university library for general research and reading. 46. ACADEMIC CONTENT: Existing Curriculum for the Programme/Sub- Discipline /Discipline Attach to this Form, the complete and current prospectus, which should include: (a) Programme Title: LL.B Degree.

(b) Programme/Sub-Discipline/Discipline Philosophy and objectives: Philosophy and Objectives The Law programme is designed to: (a) provide students with a sound foundation of legal knowledge by teaching law in the light of social, political and economic changes. (b) produce graduates of Law who are equipped with a clear understanding of the place and importance of Law in the society, acquaint them with principles of the legal process and basic tools of legal analysis and methods. (c) expose students of Law to other disciplines in the process of acquiring legal education since all human activities – social, economic, political etc – take place within a legal framework. (d) create a new breed of lawyers who will be capable of critical thinking outside the constraints of national boundaries and who can recognize and apply contemporary jurisprudence. The philosophy of the programme is to produce lawyers capable of coping with the legal needs of society in the light of social, economic, political, cultural and technological advancements. The programme ensures that law is taught as it exists at any given moment, and that students adopt a comparative approach to legal studies, bearing in mind the different systems of law - Statutory Law, Common Law, Customary Law and Islamic Law concurrently in operation. The curriculum is not limited to the teaching of traditional law courses. It includes several relevant non-law courses taught from 100 level to 400 level in addition to courses from the General Study Unit; entrepreneurship and vocational courses from the Centre for Entrepreneurship Development of the University. Even with respect to the law courses, the curriculum has been extended to cover new branches of law such as Environmental Law, Law of International Trade, Clinical Law, and Maritime Law

Staff Appraisal: Appraise the entire academic staff of the programme/Subdiscipline/Discipline (a) Adequacy in number, qualification and experience (State average student to staff ratio) The total numbers of academics staff both full time and part- time is 25 for the current session. In terms of the number of academic staff, the number can still cope with the student population. The Faculty has commenced postgraduate programmes - LL.M. and PhD. All the members of the academic staff are professionally qualified. They have all shown great dexterity to develop the Faculty to meet the standard required of it. The 57

Professors, the Senior Lecturers and some of the Lecturers have had teaching experiences in other universities spanning over several years before joining the Faculty. Junior academic members of staff are currently undergoing their Ph.D programme. Some of the academic staff have already registered for the M.Phil/Ph.D Programme and this will further boost the staff qualification. The Faculty is also reaching out to establish linkages with other Universities and other bodies to ensure continuing legal education. In this connection, the Faculty is collaborating with NULAI and the Open Society Justice Initiative to develop the Practical Law Programme. Five members of the academic staff have undergone training in Practical Legal Training within and outside Nigeria. With a student population of just a little above 300, and an academic staff compliment of 24, the student to staff ratio is 1:17. (b) Effectiveness of lecturers With the number and experience of the Lecturers in the Faculty there is effective teaching and supervision of the students. The policy of making senior members of staff to teach with junior ones also ensure proper grooming of the younger Lecturers. There is also a deliberate policy to encourage each Lecturer to focus on particular area(s) of law right from the beginning. The arrangement has been very effective and students have benefited from it. Special attention paid is to the core courses as required by the Council of Legal Education. In this regard, senior members of the academic staff are assigned to the core courses. In some cases, they teach along with the junior members. In order to expose the students to as many areas of the Law as may be practicable within the frame of the programme many optional courses are provided. All the Lecturers are diligent and enthusiastic and they cope adequately with the current level of student enrolment. However, it must be mentioned that it has not been easy to keep the student population at its present level. Professional achievements: Many of the Lecturers have been making serious contribution to legal scholarship in Nigeria. A number of them have been called to serve as consultant on various government projects and at international level. Many have also been invited by sister Universities and the Nigerian Law School to act as assessors or External Examiners. Mr. Olugbenga Oke-Samuel has done a lot in the area of public enlightenment on human rights and the promotion of access to justice through his weekly radio programme on Access to Justice. Many of the lecturers are equally involved in the training of law lecturers for other Universities. Mr. Olugbenga Oke-Samuel joined Professor Ernest Ojukwu to train the University of Ibadan Law Lecturers in Clinical Law teaching. Others have been invited to join in the training of the University of Maiduguri Law Lecturers. Some other Lecturers in the Faculty have also been involved in pro bono services to the community at large. The Dean, Professor Yemi Akinseye-George is the secretary and co-founder of the Network of University Legal Aid Institutions (NULAI) which helps to develop clinical legal education in the country.

LAW LIBRARY: The new Law Library is well stocked with standard and up-to-date literature on many aspects of law. This includes a rich collection of Law Reports (Local and Foreign), Encyclopedias, forms and precedents and students’ texts. The Library has also placed order for more books. A Law Librarian who though not a Lawyer, has acquired significant experience in managing Law Libraries manages the Library. Most recently, she served as a Librarian of the Federal High Court. 55.

Laboratories: Not Applicable.

56. Clinics/Studios:
Describe the various laboratories available for teaching the programme. Indicate, if the laboratories belong to the Department or shared with other Department. List the equipment etc, in each clinic/studio using the table in APPENDIX Form. LEGAL CLINIC The Faculty has a Legal Clinic Room with legal Clinic offices for the practical teaching for students to acquire lawyering skill and to offer free legal aid to the indigents around the University community. In addition, there is additional partitioning which serves to provide more offices to interview ‘clients’. It is fully air conditioned with two complete sets of computer, file cabinets, television set and other office furniture. In addition, there are adequate stationery items provided for the clinic.

That is, it has furniture for the Judge’s seat, the court officials, the Bar, spectators seats, and both the dock and the witness box. In addition, there are partitions, which serve as the Judge’s Chambers, and counsel cloackroom. LIST OF EQUIPMENT IN THE MOOT COURT ROOM: i. File cabinet; ii. Air-Conditioners; iii.

vi. vii. viii. ix. 57.

Dock The Bar that can sit about 10 ‘Lawyers’; Window blinds; A podium on which the judge’s Table and Chair is mounted.

APPRAISAL OF THE FACILITIES: Appraise the existing facilities in terms of quality for a projected enrolment period. Considering the age of both the University in its new location and the Faculty, the facilities available are adequate for now. With the recently completed law building, there is an additional room for small classes and tutorial. Office spaces for staff are quite adequate. The class rooms are sufficient for now. A classroom is dedicated to each level. The Faculty has a strong vehicle which also serves the Dean’s official car. The university maintains a pool of buses from which the Faculty could always pick when there is the need. There are quite enough teaching aids in the Faculty. There are audio visual facilities, multimedia projectors and computers for the use of the staff. All professors, Heads of Departments and senior members of staff were recently given brand new laptops by the university to supplement the desktops.

Financial Appraisal Appraise the adequacy of the operating Funds for the College/School/Faculty/ Department For recurrent expenditure also indicate the expenditure per annum per student. The current level of funding is adequate, considering the overall level of funding within the University system. In view of the low student population, the expenditure per student per annum is quite reasonable. However, this is not to say that there is no room for improvement.

APPRAISAL OF STANDARD OF DEGREE EXAMINATION Appraised the standard of examination based on: (a) Adequacy of coverage of the syllabus content The conduct of examination in the Faculty is of high standard. The Dean, as Chief Examiner ensures that all areas of the syllabus are covered and that the questions meet acceptable standard. During the semester the Board of Studies monitors compliance with the syllabus. Examination questions cover the syllabus adequately and are of the good standard. Quality of students’ answers to the various questions: In general, the students have shown a lot of enthusiasm and this has reflected in the quality of their answers to questions. On the average the standard is high. However, there are some noticeable deficiencies in English. These are being corrected through the organization of Moot trials and debates. On the whole, the students are doing very well and they demonstrate understanding of principles of law. Quality of practical work, continuous assessment and degree projects The standard and quality of students’ Long Essay/Projects is quite high. Some of the topics researched are quite topical and germane as they deal with contemporary issues in Nigeria. The Faculty incorporates practical and moot trials as part of the method of teaching. In assessing students, a continuous assessment is counted as part of the final score for each course. In the final year the students write research project, each student is assigned to a supervisor to guide him/her properly in writing the project. 0

In debates and mock tails, the students have been very good. Some have represented the University at inter-University competitions. They have also done very well within the University community. Many of the Judges and Magistrates who have come to help conduct mock trials have equally commended the high standard and the skill of the students. Their performance at the Law Clinic competitions have been commendable. (d) Students’ readiness for the level of manpower he/she is being trained for The students have shown clear interest in becoming good Lawyers in the society. They conform to the Dress Code prescribed by the Council of Legal Education. As a result of this, Law students are easily identified on campus. They are quite appreciative of the new demands of the legal profession in the 21st century and they have demonstrated intense willingness to meet the challenges. Law Graduates Performance at the Law School: The Faculty has graduated 2 sets of law students. The first set performed brilliantly well at their 2005/2006 Bar Final Examinations results. Out of 26 students, the set recorded only one failure. The second set also recorded outstanding performance in the recently released Bar Final Examination results for 2006/2007 session. External moderation scheme In line with the NUC minimum standards, examination questions of final year students are taken to the Faculty External Examiners for moderation. Their answer scripts and Long Essay/Projects are equally graded by the External Examiners who are Professors of Law from other universities with well-established standards.
