Public Law, as a branch of legal studies, holds immense significance in modern society.

The Department of Public Law at Kabarak University School of Law is dedicated to providing a comprehensive education that delves into these fundamental concepts, equipping students with the tools they need to navigate the intricate landscape of public governance.

Diverse Areas of Study

The Department of Public Law offers a diverse range of courses that cover essential topics such as constitutional law, administrative law, human rights law, environmental law, and more. These subjects are not just academic pursuits; they hold the key to safeguarding justice, upholding human rights, and ensuring the proper functioning of government institutions.
