The Faculty of Laws at the University of Malta recently launched the first volume of The Maltese Legal System, written by David Attard and published by the Malta University Press.
The first volume is divided in five chapters on the following subjects: Introduction to Law, Legislation, the Legal Profession, the Organisation of the Courts and Jurisdiction.
The launching ceremony was attended by the rector of the University of Malta, the dean of the Faculty of Laws, professors of law, judges, graduates, law students, friends and colleagues.
The panel of speakers who addressed the audience included President Emeritus Ugo Mifsud Bonnici, Judge Emeritus of the European Court of Human Rights Giovanni Bonello, Attorney General Peter Grech and Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Laws Simone Borg. They spoke on the importance of the publication and its contribution to legal literature, and how the book reflected Malta’s unique and very well developed legal system.
Although the book is intended to assist students wishing to pursue their studies in law, its contents constitute a very useful resource for anyone interested in gaining an in-depth and readily accessible understanding of the Maltese legal system and its application.
At the end of the ceremony, students who came first in the LL.B. course and those in the first year of the LL.B. course last year were presented with a copy of The Maltese Legal System by Prof. Attard.
