Formal training in the Faculty of Law commenced in October 1981 with a student enrolment of 215 in the full-time 4-year preliminary and 3-year direct entry programme. This was just 3% of the total University student size of 7,149.

The initial staff strength in 1981 was equally small. Training commenced with a total of academic staff size of five – Professor Itse Sagay, with a team of one senior lecturer, two lecturers and one assistant lecturer. The student enrolment increased rapidly to 608 in the 1990/91 session and is now well over 1,600 students. A new Faculty building was commissioned in November 1991 and remains one of the most modern Law Faculty buildings in the country.
