The Department of Law, Aligarh Muslim University is one of the oldest Department in India. The teaching of Law in AMU was introduced in the year 1883. Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, the Founder was greatly impressed by the Programme of Legal Education in British Universities. So he was very keen to have legal education on that pattern in AMU also.
In 1960, the Department of Law came into being into a full-fledged Faculty. Credit goes to Late Prof. Hafizul Rehman (who was also the first Dean) to develop a modern curriculum and research programme. Infact he was the architect of the present Faculty of Law.

Although I'm a student at Aligarh Muslim University, Department of Law, Malappuram but the environment and cooperation that is provided here at Aligarh to the students is much better and students also have more chances to avail the provided facilities to the fullest. Not only the facilities that are provided here but also the professors present here are very helpful.
