The School of Law at Karamoja Peace and Technology University is dedicated to shaping lawyers who are not only skilled in the courtroom but also committed to justice, peace, alternative dispute resolution, and community service. We recognise the unique legal and social realities of Karamoja and Uganda, and we prepare our students to meet them with integrity, empathy, professionalism, and competence.
Our programs blend theory with hands-on experience through moot courts, legal aid clinics, and fieldwork. From certificates to master’s degrees, we offer pathways for anyone passionate about law—whether you want to advocate for human rights, protect the environment, resolve disputes, or guide communities on land and customary law or specialise in jurisprudence.
At KAPATU’s School of Law, we believe the law is more than rules—it’s a tool to transform lives, strengthen peace, and build a fairer society for all.
