The University of Navarra School of Law[1] is the oldest School of the University of Navarra system. The School of Law is located on the University’s Main Campus in Pamplona, Spain. Approximately 70% of its Law Students come from the other regions of Spain and from a long list of countries, which includes:Ecuador, El Salvador, Honduras, México, France, Albania, Jamaica y Portugal, amongst others.

The School of Law offers a full range of Degrees at both the undergraduate and graduate level. The Degree in Spanish Law, "Licenciatura de Derecho", is complemented by six specialization diplomas: "Derecho Económico"; "Derecho Medioambiental"; "Derecho Foral Navarro"; the Anglo-American Common Law system; as well as, Global Law (Anglo-American Law Program, International Business Law Program, Global Lawyer Certificate).

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 situated), 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.
