The School of Law offers an ample range of Degrees at both the undergraduate and graduate level.

History

The School of Law was created in 1952. Lectures were initially held in the "Cámara de Comptos de Navarra" (a historic building where the Old Kingdom of Navarra's Treasury Chamber was located), and later, in the building of the Museum of Navarra. When the University's Campus was first constructed in 1963, the School of Law operated from the University's Central Building. The current School of Law Building was inaugurated in 1992. A new construction project is currently underway to build a large academic center to house the combined disciplines of Law and Economics.
