As Cambodia recovers from
its
traumatic past, and thereby modernizes and interacts more regionally
and
globally, there is an ever-growing need for professionals with an
in-depth
knowledge of our own country's rules of law; Cambodian and
international
regulations governing trade and commerce between countries;
international
conventions on the environment, labor, intellectual property, human
rights; and
also dispute resolution. Such knowledge is important for both policy
development and advocacy work within Cambodia.
The College
of Law
aims to offer a
curriculum whose
breadth and depth is unmatched for legal education in Cambodia. The
syllabus seeks to provide students with a solid educational foundation
for
their continuing intellectual, human and professional development as
they build
their future legal careers.
Rather
than emphasizing any single area of Law, the College provides both
introductory
and advanced courses in every major area of legal endeavor. This varied
and
challenging educational program aims not just to give a good
perspective on
relevant legislative systems; but also to train students' thinking
capabilities
in order to help them assess (and seek to resolve) a variety of
real-life
situations – in legal practice, the government and other public
service, academia,
and business. As the Cambodian legal system evolves, together with
those in the
region and internationally, we will update our course-offerings
accordingly.
There
are two majors in our LLB program: Public Law and Private Law.
Note: LLA – Associate Degree;
LLB –
Bachelor’s Degree
