Faculty of Law

Excellence in Establishing Justice, Rule of Law, and Modern Legal Thought

About the Faculty

The Faculty of Law is one of the faculties in Bani Waleed city, established in the academic year 2000/2001 under the name "University of Departments" pursuant to General People's Committee Decree No. 308 of 2000, responding to the region's essential need for specialized legal cadres. It continued as a Law Department within the University of Departments until becoming an independent faculty affiliated with 7th of October University in 2004/2005, following the restructuring of higher education which merged the University of Departments in Bani Waleed and Misrata into a single university (General People's Committee Decree No. 2 of 2005). This organizational structure continued until October 2011, when universities and faculties were reorganized under the Steering Committee of Bani Waleed Faculties. In June 2012, affiliation transferred to Al-Zaytouna University. Subsequently, a branch of Al-Zaytouna University was created in Bani Waleed until October 2015, when Bani Waleed University was established by Cabinet Decree No. 193 of 2015. The Faculty of Law has consistently sought to provide the city with law graduates and qualify them for community integration in alignment with their academic qualifications and the faculty's vision, mission, and objectives.
