Dear prospective student,

The School of Law (SL) is one of the leading schools of Azerbaijan. It was established in 1991, since the first day of the creation of Khazar University. One of the specific features of the School is a high degree of innovation in both teaching and research of the faculty members and academic activity of the students.

Today the School has a student body of more than two hundred. The faculty of the School is thoroughly established. The student body is intellectually distinguished and diverse in interests. English and Azerbaijani both are used as a medium of instruction. The fact that English is used as a language of instruction in the School helps both students and faculty in their study, research, and professional activity, opening them the new horizons of contacts with the professional community worldwide.

The first Legal Clinic in the Caucasus was founded in 1998 at Khazar University School of Law. It trains young lawyers who have not only theoretical knowledge but also practical skills necessary for their legal practice and carries on social function in rendering a free legal assistance to the disadvantaged groups of the population of the country. The clinic offers an opportunity for students to handle all aspects of client matters, from initial interview through trial, hearing and other procedures.

There is also Moot Court functioning at the School. It was established with support of the American Bar Association Central European and Eurasian Law Initiative (ABA-CEELI). It provides opportunity for the students to gain both practical and theoretical skills in the Court.

One of the strengths of the School is the richness of its curriculum. It offers students the opportunity to sample different areas of Law and to design a program of study that fits their individual interests and career plans.

The curriculum reflects the tendency of development in the region as well as in developed world and corresponds to the standards of the leading American and European schools. It provides active use of independent study and integrates classroom learning with actual training in social work agencies appropriate to students' interests and background.

You are welcome to visit our school any time.

Sincerely,

Jabir Khalilov, Associate Professor
