A historic faculty

Eight centuries of history for a dynamic and innovative faculty.

The origins of the Montpellier Law School date back to the 12th century, when Placentin taught law in MONTPELLIER.

The University, whose creation was formalized by the papal bull "Quia sapientia" of October 26, 1289, was one of the first generation of universities in the Middle Ages.
At that time, there were only about fifteen universities in Europe. Teachers and students were accustomed to moving from one university to another, already giving rise to a European culture and legal system. Over the centuries,the"University of Laws" becamethe"School of Law" and thenthe"Faculty of Law and Political Science" of Montpellier, remaining faithful to its original vocation.

She has trained generations of lawyers from all countries and cultures. This is how she has built her scientific reputation, her international standing, and her ambitions in this field.
