Shaybani Law Society (SLS)

The Shaybani Law Society (SLS) is the official student representative body of the Department of Shariah and Law (DSL) at Shifa Tameer-e-Millat University. Named in honor of the legacy of Islamic jurisprudence, SLS serves as a platform where law students can grow as future legal professionals, leaders, and advocates for justice.

Vision:

To cultivate a vibrant community of law students who are academically excellent, professionally competent, and socially responsible — bridging the gap between legal education and real-world practice.

Mission:

SLS is committed to promoting legal education, leadership, research, community engagement, and democratic values among the students of the Department of Shariah and Law. Through active student representation and meaningful engagement, the Society strives to give every law student a voice in academic and administrative matters within the department.

Objectives:

• Promote student representation in academic and administrative matters within DSL
• Encourage legal awareness, research, and academic excellence
• Provide opportunities for leadership development, teamwork, and communication skills
• Promote diversity, inclusion, and tolerance through debates, discussions, and intercultural events
• Build connections between the Bench, Bar, and Academia to enrich professional exposure

• Engage students in legal aid and community service projects

Co-Curricular Life at SLS

Beyond the classroom, SLS gives law students a space to sharpen the practical skills every future lawyer needs — advocacy, research, and public engagement — through dedicated committees:

• Moot Court & Debates Committee – hones courtroom advocacy and argumentation skills
• Research & Publications Committee – fosters academic writing and legal scholarship
• Event Management Committee – organizes seminars, workshops, and lectures
• Community Service & Legal Aid Committee – connects students with real-world legal aid work
• Sports Committee – encourages teamwork and student wellbeing
• Student Welfare Committee – supports the broader interests of the student body

Through these platforms, SLS ensures that every law student at DSL has the opportunity to grow not just as a student of law, but as a well-rounded future legal professional.
