What is a Law School?

A law school is an institution that provides legal education and is involved in the process of becoming a lawyer in a given jurisdiction.

 

Establishment of The Law School of Tanzania | Vyuo vya Sheria Tanzania

The Law School of Tanzania (the Law School) was established by the Law School of Tanzania Act 2007 (the Act) and came into force on May 2, 2007. This was an important step towards improving the practical skills of lawyers in the country.

Prior to the establishment of the Law School, aspiring lawyers received practical training through an internship programme at the Attorney General’s Office.

Some universities subsequently used an externship programme to train aspiring lawyers in practical skills. The Practical Legal Training programme, which will be administered by the Law School, will replace these systems.

The Law School is affiliated with the Ministry of Constitutional Affairs and Justice.

 

The School is a body corporate. It is an independent organ with its own Governing Board. In that regard Section 4 of the Act provides that the School shall:

1. have perpetual succession and an official seal.
2. in its corporate name be capable of suing and being sued.
3. be capable of entering into contract, holding, purchasing or otherwise acquiring in any other way, movable property or immovable property and disposing of any of its property and
4. have power to borrow money or property as may be required for efficient and proper performance of its functions.

 

The Board of Governors supervises the School and its activities, and is assisted by a permanent committee known as the Practical Legal Training Committee.
