Ahmad Ibrahim Kulliyyah of Laws (AIKOL) is the law faculty of International Islamic University Malaysia. Previously known as the Kulliyyah of Laws, it was renamed in 2000 in honour of its founder and ex-Dean, professor Ahmad Mohamed Ibrahim. Being the first faculty formed together with the university, it is now one of the largest law schools in Malaysia and has produced thousands of law graduates since 1983.

Classes are taught in English and Arabic. However, Bahasa Melayu is also taught to students to equip them with the understanding of legal jargons in the national language. The majority of the students are Malaysians.

Courses offered

[edit]

AIKOL offers a variety of courses ranging from LL.B (Honours), LL.B-S (Honours) for Shariah law students, MCL (Master of Comparative Laws) and up to PhD (Doctor of Philosophy). It also provides for programs for Diploma's in speciality areas. Under the Legal Profession Act 1976, a person awarded an LL.B (Honours) degree from AIKOL of IIUM is recognised as a 'qualified person' that may be admitted as an Advocate & Solicitor in the High Court, Malaysia, and is exempted from taking the Certificate of Legal Practice (Malaysia).[1]

Events

[edit]

The Ahmad Ibrahim Memorial Lecture series is conducted annually by inviting experts and scholars to speak on diverse legal issues.

IIUM Mock Trial is an annual theatrical play conducted by the Law Society of AIKOL, traditionally held during the Convocation Week commonly known as Convest, at the AIKOL Moot Court or the IIUM Main Auditorium. Students reenact famous legal trials, with added dramatic elements like humour, suspense, horror and patriotism, as well as extensive stage props, costumes and gimmicks. Among the real cases that have been used in the past include Mona Fandey, Maria Hertogh, Botak Chin and Al-Ma'unah.

Publications

[edit]

The IIUM Law Journal is a peer-reviewed journal, published twice a year by AIKOL, with a mission of sharing ideas and information about legal developments relating to civil and Shariah laws.

The Law Majalla, started in 1985, is the first student-run law journal in Malaysia.[2] The Law Society of AIKOL is also in charge of the student-run newsletter called The Lexicon.
