Who We Are

The student voice of the Faculty of Law, grounded in faith, service, and justice.

The Law Students' Society (LSS) of Joseph Ayo Babalola University is the officially recognised body representing Law students within the university community. We exist to promote academic excellence, professional development, and a strong culture of ethics and service.

Through moots, workshops, public lectures, and social events, we help our members grow into well-rounded legal minds prepared for practice, policy, and public service.

Our Pillars

Every activity of the Law Students' Society is built around three key pillars.

  • Scholarship: Deepening legal knowledge and critical thinking.
  • Advocacy: Training articulate, ethical, and courageous voices.
  • Community: Supporting one another spiritually, socially, and academically.
