The program is aimed at producing competent lawyers of character, equipped for legal practice and other law related careers. In Kenya, the LLB is the basic requirement to enter into legal practice.
The Africa Nazarene University mission statement calls for graduates to go into the world well-prepared to meet the challenges of their time, which include personal and organizational corruption, violence, disunity, poverty and unemployment, disease, and a crisis of leadership. The LLB program will therefore prepare graduates to address these challenges of their time in a number of ways. First, the University Common Courses include units in Bible, Christian Beliefs and Christian Ethics to provide a foundation for moral and ethical knowledge and values. Secondly, the LLB program itself envisages not only training in key legal knowledge and skills to prepare them for success in legal practice, but also preparation for being a positive influence through required and elective units.
Because of its vision and mission and because of the need on the continent, the LLB program, based firmly in Common Law, will train graduates who have the skills and knowledge to support themselves and their families, and who also have skills and knowledge that would allow them to identify and address needs in their local and regional community.
