NUL – LAW SOCIETY UNITE TO ADVANCE LEGAL EDUCATION IN LESOTHO

National University of Lesotho (NUL) Faculty of Law has entered into a
landmark partnership with the Law Society of Lesotho (LSL) through the
signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at
strengthening legal education, professional training, and research.

The agreement sets the stage for joint initiatives to build the capacity of
both law students and legal practitioners. Key areas of collaboration
include the development of practical examinations for aspiring advocates,
attorneys, conveyancers, as well as the introduction of continuing legal
education programs.

These efforts are designed to ensure that
graduates are not only academically qualified but also professionally
equipped to meet the demands of legal practice.
Under the MoU, both institutions have committed to coordinating their
activities through working plans, periodic reviews, and designated
representatives to oversee implementation.

They have also pledged to
uphold mutual trust, safeguard intellectual property, and ensure fairness
in all collaborative projects.
The MoU will automatically renew annually, providing a long-term
framework for cooperation while allowing either party to withdraw with
due notice if necessary. Both parties hailed the agreement as a milestone
in aligning legal education with professional realities.
