Welcome to School of Law, Wachemo University
I am thrilled to share this message on behalf of our esteemed institution. The School of Law at Wachemo University was launched in 2016 (2009 E.C), and since its establishment, we have been dedicated to achieving our overarching goals in teaching, learning, research, innovation, and community service, including providing legal aid.

Our mission is to prepare and produce high-caliber and competent legal professionals who champion the rule of law, democracy, constitutionalism, human rights, good governance, tolerance, social justice, and development. We aim to equip our graduates with the skills and knowledge necessary to meet the ever-increasing demands of Ethiopian society in the legal field.

In addition to education, we strive to cultivate a vibrant research community that generates knowledge through research and publication while addressing community challenges. Achieving these objectives requires commitment and collaboration from all staff members in enhancing the teaching-learning process, conducting problem-solving research, and engaging in community service. It also necessitates partnerships with other institutions and law schools both nationally and internationally.

Currently, our law school maintains strong relationships with key stakeholders, including the Ministry of Justice, the Ethiopian Law Schools Association, the Federal Justice and Legal Institute, and other relevant organizations. We are proud to serve over a thousand students enrolled in regular, weekend, and summer programs across undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Our dedicated faculty comprises more than 24 staff members, including 2 PhD holders and 1 PhD student.

I encourage all esteemed staff members to embrace their responsibilities and actively contribute to our collective mission. I also invite collaboration from law students, the university community, and other institutions to help us realize our goals.

Once again, I warmly welcome you to Wachemo University School of Law. Thank you for being part of our journey toward excellence in legal education.

Best regards,
Sisay Tamirat (LLB,LLM)
