The Faculty of Laws

 

The Faculty of Laws of the University of Malta is one of the oldest faculties in one of the oldest Universities in Europe.  The Maltese legal system is a reflection of the cross-currents which have influenced Malta’s history and also European history as a whole.  The Civil Law and Common Law systems have interacted to shape the Maltese Legal system.  Malta has applied for full membership of the European Union and its laws are fast being brought into line, where necessary, with the law of the European Union.  In any event, the comparative law approach to the study of law has always been a feature of Maltese legal education.  The orientation will be further strengthened in the future.
