The AUN curriculum introduces an innovative dimension to legal education in Nigeria while reinforcing the University's development philosophy. Modeled on the American Liberal arts tradition of broad education and critical thinking, the AUN law curriculum embraces humanitarian studies, alternative dispute resolution, environmental law, HIV and the law, Gender and development, Energy and Natural Resources Law and technology and the law, thereby creating an interconnection between law, Society and Development.
Employing interactive teaching methods and real-world case studies, the School of Law equips students with practical skills and critical thinking abilities crucial for success in today's legal landscape through moot court trials for practical learning. It also offers a dynamic curriculum that covers a wide range of legal disciplines, ensuring graduates are well-prepared to tackle complex legal challenges in diverse fields. The Ag. Secretary of the Council and Director of Administration of Legal Education, A.O Osho, said the AUN School of Law faculty building and furnishing are impressive and commendable.
The President of the American University of Nigeria, Dr. DeWayne Frazier said, "I am happy to inform you that our second set of Law graduates has done well in their bar qualifying examinations in the Nigerian Law School Abuja." AUN law graduates continue to demonstrate their exceptional capabilities and dedication to the legal profession by achieving remarkable success in this rigorous examination. It is noteworthy that 83 percent of AUN Law graduates made it through the last bar part-two final examination. These performances are attributed to the quality of Law instructors and Professors who constantly push the students above mediocrity, considering the state-of-the-art facilities available to them.
Given the University's consistent compliance with its allotted quota since inception and the tremendous improvement in facilities, the council has approved a new quota of one hundred and ten (110) from fifty (50).
