The Faculty opened its doors in October 1970 to undergraduates with 24 students at Mona, 19 at St. Augustine, 35 at Cave Hill and 13 at the University of Guyana. The building at Cave Hill was first occupied during the academic year of 1973-1974, and the library\u2019s resources became fully available for use for the first time.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFor further information on the History of the Faculty of Law, please see <em><strong>\u2018The Faculty of Law of the University of the West Indies: In Retrospect\u2019<\/strong><\/em> by Professor A.R.
