Namkumbuka Prof. Wambali kama Mhadhiri mbobezi katika nyanja ya Sheria. Prof. Wambali aliyeanza kuhadhiri UDSM tangu mwaka 1982(mwaka niliozaliwa) kama Mhadhiri Msaidizi,alikuwa mbobezi wa sheria za kimataifa,za katiba,za utawala na za madai kwa ujumla. Prof. Wambali alipata cheo na hadhi ya kuwa Profesa Mshiriki mwishoni mwa mwaka 2011.
