Mona Law Society
In 2010, the Mona Law Society was formed and serves as a student built
organization that represents the unified body of law students on the Mona
campus.
The objectives of the Law Society are to:
1. Lay the foundation toward increasing awareness of the law as it applies to,
and affects us.
2. Pave the way towards the creation of an indigenous Caribbean
jurisprudence.
3. Engender a sense of community and family within the law faculty.
4. Facilitate the development of the law student academically, socially and
professionally.
5. Reach out and have a demonstrative impact on the community through
programs aimed toward assisting those less fortunate and offering guidance
when appropriate.
6. To be a forum, where the interests and ideas of law students can be
expressed.
7. To encourage intellectual discourse through political debates and round-
table discussions.

History of the Faculty of Law
Introduction of Law at Mona
The Faculty of Law was established at The University of the West Indies in 1970
with headquarters at the Cave Hill Campus. At the Mona Campus, 5 first-year
courses were taught in a few classrooms in the Faculty of Arts and General Studies
(now called the Faculty of Humanities & Education). The Mona first-year
programme then moved to the Mona School of Business, Sir Alister McIntyre
Building (Block D) then to the UWI Printery in 2010.
A New Home
In 2011 the Faculty opened a permanent state of the art 3 storey building at 1 – 3
West Road with multimedia equipment in the classrooms, a student lounge, a
fountain and a 2 storey library. The building every law student now calls - “home
away from home”.
Full Faculty Status
In 2012, the Faculty of Law obtained full Faculty status thereby allowing Jamaican
nationals to pursue their Bachelor of Laws in Jamaica for 3 years. At that time the
Faculty had 9 academic staff members imparting 42 courses, supported by 6
administrative members and 2 ancillary workers.
In 2015, the Mona Law Institutes Unit was established as an arm of the Faculty.
Dr. Christopher Malcolm serves as its director.
Current MonaLaw Statistics
Currently, the Faculty of Law has over 500 students enrolled with 14 full-time
lecturers, 8 adjunct lecturers, 8 administrative members and 2 ancillary workers.
Fifty-four courses are taught for the Bachelor of Laws programme. The graduate
programme began in January 2015 with 1 student enrolled in the MPhil
programme. In January 2016 the Faculty admitted its first Master of Laws (LLM)
student. There are currently 11 LLM students and 10 MPhil/ PhD students. In
November 2018, its first 2 LLM students graduated.
