Brief History

The School of Law is one of the university's founding faculties, tracing its origins to 1965-1966 when it opened with six students. Professor Gary Nash was the foundation professor, succeeded by Professor A.B. Weston in the early 1970s. Business programs joined during the 1980s. The 1995 restructure created the School of Law and Business Studies. The current School of Law was established in 2002 following the creation of the School of Business Administration.
