FACULTY OF LAW
The Faculty of Law might be the smallest at UCT, but
its footprint is large – whether you’re talking about the
impact of its staff and students on society, the largesse
of its alumni or the diversity of its research.

It is ranked 40th in the top 100 law schools worldwide.

“Historically, South African law
played an important role in creating
and retaining an oppressive and
divided society. Our Constitution
is the driving force in creating an
open, democratic and free society.
Here at the Faculty of Law we
are committed to furthering the
goals of the Constitution. Our aim
is to train the next generation of
skilled legal professionals who
will ensure the maintenance and
strengthening of our open,
free and democratic
society.”
