The Diploma in Law is an important qualification in society particularly in rural places where there are few or no fully trained legal practitioners. The absence of qualified legal practitioners in rural areas of the country has left a lot of people without access to justice or even access to basic legal services which in turn, make people resort to taking the law into their own hands for lack of knowledge on how to deal with simple but technical matters of law. The importance of this programme cannot therefore be overemphasized as it seeks to bridge the gap between urban and rural societies on matters pertaining to the delivery of justice in the country. The Diploma in Law programme therefore is very necessary in any society and its relevance, does not necessarily arise for economic gain, but for knowledge as, the more knowledgeable people in society are of the law, the better a society shall be.

The training of more people with knowledge of law even at the basic level, will therefore assist government in its quest to decongest prisons as there are a lot of people in prisons who should not be there due simply to ignorance of the law and people to advise them on issues of law. Individuals trained with Diploma in Law would work with NGOs that have dedicated their time to ensuring access to justice especially in the rural areas.
