Ahmad Ibrahim Kulliyyah Of Laws (AIKOL) is the law faculty of International Islamic University Malaysia. Previously known as the Kulliyyah of Laws, it was renamed in 2000 in honour of its founding father and ex-Dean, Professor Tan Sri Datuk Ahmad Mohamed Ibrahim. Being the first Kulliyyah (faculty) to be formed together with the university, it is now one of the largest law schools in Malaysia and has produced thousands of law graduates since 1983: legal practitioners, syarie lawyers, academicians, legal advisors, deputy public prosecutors, judiciary members, and politicians. AIKOL's mission and vision is to produce high-quality law graduates who are not only knowledgeable about civil law concepts, but also on Islamic jurisprudence and its methodologies. The current Dean is Professor Dr. Hunud Abia Kadouf.[1]

Due to its international status, the medium for teaching in AIKOL is English and Arabic. However, Bahasa Melayu is also taught to students to equip them with the understanding of legal jargons in the national language. It does receive a small group of foreign law students every year whilst the majority of the students are Malaysians.

Campuses

There is a total of three campuses in Malaysia, which are at Gombak, Kuantan, and Petaling Jaya. The Combak Campus is the main campus, ≈ 700 acre (2.8 km²).

Courses offered

AIKOL offers a variety of courses ranging from LL.B (Hons.), LL.B-S (Hons.) for Shariah law students, MCL (Master Of Comparative Laws) and up to PhD (Doctor Of Philosophy) level. It also provides for programmes like Diploma In Shariah Law And Practice (DSLP) and Diploma in Law and Administration of Islamic Judiciary (DAIJ). Harun M. Hashim Law Centre of AIKOL offers several programmes, including LL.M Business (Executive), LL.M Banking (Executive), LL.M in Administration of Islamic Law and LL.M in International Law.

Achievements

AIKOL actively participates in various public speaking, debating, client counseling and mooting competitions, both nationally and internationally, and it has achieved quite a remarkable success throughout the years from its involvement in these co-curricular activities. AIKOL has continuously produced exceptional debaters and public speakers who regularly represented the university and also the country in numerous tournaments like the Royal Malaysian Intervarsity Debating Championship, Bar Council Debate, United Asian Debating Championships and Australasian Intervarsity Debating Championships. [citation needed]

Irma Nur Zahrah of AIKOL became the first Asian to win the public speaking competition at the World Universities Debating Championships 2004 held at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.[2] One of AIKOL's major achievements was when it became the runner-up in the prestigious Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition 2005 held at Washington, D.C. and Melati Abdul Hamid was awarded the Best Oralist in the Championship Round.[3] Another major achievement was in 2008, where the IIUM mooting team represented Malaysia and managed to garner a clean sweep of the awards in the Inaugural Monroe E.
