dc.description.abstractSustainable development programmes must be considered within three spheres of sustainability that is the environment, society, economy and the underlying dimension of culture. Imperatively, the ideas such as equality among generations, peace, poverty, reduction and environmentally preservation are very importance when considering this three spheres. Instructively therefore, since sustainable development addresses the local contexts of this three spheres, it takes different connotations when considering its various implications. However, scholars have expressed serious concern that the legal education syllabus has not given sustainable development a tokenistic place on the curriculum of law faculties in Nigeria. In view of this, the paper which is essentially doctrinal and library based addresses the challenges identified above and how legal education can be deployed for sustainable development. It further explores the value of legal education as a basis for sustainable development. The paper focuses on the conceptualizing and repositioning legal education for sustainable development as against mere acquisition of literacy of other skills. It argues that the integration of sustainable development in law curriculum Nigeria is limited. The paper concludes highlighting the opportunities available in the market if legal education is properly positioned and the law curriculum tailored alongside lifelong learning and training for sustainable development.en_US
