🏡 Sooner or later, a land question lands on your desk.

A client with a plot they cannot register. A file with nine heirs and no court determination. A lease that runs longer than the law allows. A sale agreed years ago that was never taken to the council.

The practitioners people trust with these matters aren't the ones who know the most law. They're the ones who know exactly which provision applies — and can say so with confidence in the first meeting.

That confidence is learned. 💪

Over two evenings, you'll run a live land office desk, annotate a real registration file, and pull apart transactions to find where they went wrong — guided by Uz. Abdulla Ali, former Chief Judge of the Civil Court, who spent 36 years deciding these questions from the bench. ⚖️


📅 11–12 September 2026
🕐 6–10 PM | Villa College
💻 Hybrid — in person or online
💵 MVR 2,500 🎓 Certificate of Completion

Villa College's Faculty of Shariah and Law, in partnership with the Villa College Law Society, has completed a landmark research initiative commissioned by the Westminster Foundation for Democracy, examining cybersecurity, data protection, and digital governance in the Maldives.

Led by five Law Society members and guided by faculty advisors, the research draws on global frameworks from the EU GDPR to the Budapest Convention and governance models from Estonia to Mauritius, delivering tailored, actionable recommendations for a secure, trustworthy, and rights-respecting digital future for the country.

In an era where digital infrastructure is advancing faster than the legal systems designed to govern it, this is the kind of research that shapes national policy. We are proud that our students are not simply studying the law but actively contributing to its development.

Hard copies of the published report are now available for collection at the People's Majlis, with an e-copy to follow on the WFD portal.
