MonaLaw is proud of our alumni and in an effort to foster close connections with them, the MonaLaw Alumni Office was established in March 2019. This Office has facilitated the establishment of the Mona:aw Alumni Association ("MAA") which has both local and overseas membership.
In order to encourage the culture of "giving back" the MonaLaw Alumni Office worked in tandem with MAA to launch the MonaLaw Alumni Award at this year's annual faculty students awards ceremony. All the funds for this prize were raised by our generous Alumni. MonaLaw is grateful and look forward to greater collaboration with our graduates.
The Faculty of Law ("MonaLaw") at The University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona Campus gained full faculty status in 2012. Since that date, MonaLaw has graduated over 1000 students with the LLB degree and 5 students with LLM degrees. With each year, this number increases, thereby adding to the pool of Monalaw graduates.
To strengthen the support of the legal fraternity and foster the relationship with MonaLaw graduates.
We are creating an environment for our alumni to rekindle, reconnect, revisit and reminisce at your alma mater-MonaLaw where it all began.

"The Faculty experience highlighted the disparity between academia and practice but it fostered discipline and proper time management which is vital especially when you begin working"
"I currently practice Commercial and being at the Faculty, particularly in third year developed my passion for this area of law. The passion became stronger when I interned at JAMPRO. Yeah, there was Criminal Law that was interesting but my main area of focus was always commercial law".

The Faculty of Law was established at The University of the West Indies in 1970 with headquarters at the Cave Hill Campus. At the Mona Campus, 5 first-year courses were taught in a few classrooms in the Faculty of Arts and General Studies (now called the Faculty of Humanities & Education)
In 2011, the Faculty opened a permanent state-of-the-art building at 1–3 West Road, with multimedia equipment in the classrooms, a student lounge, a fountain and a two-storey library. This is the building that all law students now call their home away from home.
Currently, the Faculty of Law has over 600 students enrolled with 17 full-time lecturers, 8 adjunct lecturers, 8 administrative members and 2 ancillary workers. Fifty-four courses are taught for the Bachelor of Laws programme.
The purpose of the MonaLaw Alumni Association is to promote the general welfare of the organisation and foster the spirit of loyalty. The association's goal is to strengthen ties with graduates and support members' professional development. The association will foster networking opportunities, career building, promote giving back and offer benefits to its members.
We will reach out to you our colleagues for support and involvement as, we promote the welfare of a good legal family.
