The Institute is a registered centre of the University of London International Programmes. It was incorporated by the Royal Court of Jersey in 2008 to provide a focus for the study of the laws of the Channel Islands and to nurture their legal heritage. The Institute is an independent not-for-profit body, independent of government. It receives no state grants or subsidies and aims to preserve that financial independence.
The Institute of Law’s principal objective is “to advance learning and knowledge by teaching and research”. It prepares you for the University of London LL.B and for a full range of degrees from Certificates to LL.M and PhD. The institute provides the initial academic training in Jersey Law with the Jersey Law Course, designed principally for those intending to qualify as advocates or solicitors of the Royal Court of Jersey.
