Alvior (2014) defines curriculum development as the "planned,  a purposeful, progressive, and systematic process to create positive improvements in the educational system". These changes to a curriculum are vital because the curriculum is considered to be the life blood of any educational institution for which any university cannot exist without. More so, in the context of law faculties, these would  become dysfunctional and redundant without such curriculum renewal. This is as the law is a fluid concept that is constantly undergoing  change.  In some instances, changes in the law even precedes societal change is sometimes meant to stimulate societal change. In other cases, the law changes because of its exposure to other legal systems.  However,  the law changes in response to new social realities. Accordingly, the law is a complex and dynamic phenomenon. 

The Council on Higher Education (CHE) reviewed all University LLB Programmes in 2018. The Law Faculty had to restructure its curriculum in line with the CHE recommendations. The CHE also recommended that all law faculties address the themes of Transformative Constitutionalism, Africanisation, Decolonisation, Digitalisation and Globalisation in their curriculums to be aligned with the LLB standards. The LLB standards further places greater emphasis on the research, reading, writing and communication skills of law students as well as professional ethics and skills. These demands required us as a Faculty to redesign our undergraduate curriculum. I was fortunate to be part of the process and worked diligently on the stream developing the skills stream of the curriculum.
