School of Law

Advancing Justice, Ethics & Legal Excellence

Welcome to the School of Law at Dire Dawa University. We are delighted to have you visit our website and learn more about our vibrant academic community. Since its establishment, the School of Law has built a strong national reputation for academic excellence, rigorous standards, and a firm commitment to professionalism.

Our flagship program, the undergraduate LL.B. in Law, is designed to equip students with the knowledge, practical skills, and ethical foundation required to succeed in today’s dynamic legal environment. We take pride in the quality of education we provide, as well as in our impactful legal aid services, which support vulnerable members of society, including women, children, the elderly, and persons with disabilities.

At the heart of the School of Law is a dedicated academic community that is deeply committed to student success and well-being. Our faculty members are accomplished scholars, active researchers, and experienced practitioners who bring real-world legal expertise into the classroom. They are engaged in research that addresses pressing legal and societal issues, contributing to the development of law and policy at both national and international levels.

Our students benefit from an environment that emphasizes intellectual development, practical experience, and research engagement. Through initiatives such as our Free Legal Aid services, moot court competitions, and student research activities, students gain hands-on experience while making valuable contributions to the community. Their achievements are reflected in consistently strong performance on national law exit examinations and notable success in national moot court competitions, including first-place finishes in the 6th and 8th National Moot Court Competitions and a third-place finish in the 7th competition.
