I sincerely feel greatly honored to welcome you all to the Department of Law of the Moshi Co-operative University (MoCU). The Department is under the Faculty of Business and Information Sciences (FBIS) and one amongst the seven departments of the Faculty. With only a few years of existence, the Department has become a source of qualified, skilled and resourceful law graduates. The Department is currently running a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) program.

The Department has qualified law teachers, researchers and consultants in various areas of law. Some of them are practicing law as private advocates. In various occasions they have been engaged in national and international consultancy works which were successfully executed. Some have also published renowned and worthwhile books, manuals and journal articles in various areas of law. The infrastructures available at MoCU offer a conducive environment for students to carry on their studies. The library services available offer a wide range of legal materials. Lecture and seminar rooms are conducive for students to comfortably learn. Moreover, ICT facilities are also available and students can communicate and access various materials online.
The Department facilitates practical legal studies through visits to nearby legal institutions including courts and law firms. This is done in conjunction with moot court sessions organized by our lecturers in their respective class sessions. The Department is striving to excel in teaching, research and consultancy.
