Over the years, our law graduates have taken their unique brand of outstanding holistic advocates into the legal sector.
At Uganda Christian University, we believe that a modern lawyer should have the basic skills of sound legal expertise in general and should specialise in a subject or certain subjects. However, that’s not enough. They also need a particular set of skills including leadership, business and technological skills. We train lawyers using a holistic approach because one cannot thrive without skills such as writing, observing good health, proper understanding of world views and most importantly excelling as a Christian lawyer. It’s important for a lawyer to have gravitas and be effective in their work whether they are working individually or as part of a team.
The contemporary lawyer must possess emotional intelligence and have good relations with people. Furthermore, they must have the ability to work in a multi-disciplinary and diverse environment and also be agile and adaptable to the prevailing circumstances.
