Until 1991, the Law school was formerly based on the top three floors of the University Library building. After the School of Business and Economics moves into the new Owen G. Glenn Business School in 2008, the Law School will move back up to the main campus and take up the space currently occupied by Upper and Lower Lecture Theatres, Commerce A and Commerce B buildings. Old Choral Hall will become the new Law Library. It is envisaged that the move will be complete by 2009, as this is when the Law School's lease with the Melanesian Mission Trust expires. However, as the new Business School building will not be fully finished until the end of 2008, there have been rumours that the reunification of Law School with the main campus may be delayed by up to five years. |

The University of Auckland Law School is one of the seven faculties that make up the University of Auckland. It forms part of the city campus but is separate from what is termed the "main campus" which spreads across four blocks, two on each side of Symonds Street. In contrast, the Law School sits between Waterloo Quadrant and Eden Crescent, in buildings formally used by the Auckland High Court. Prior to that, the land was used by an ice cream manufacturer, leading to its nickname "the ice cream factory". One courtroom has been retained unaltered for moots.
The law school is accessible by a right of way down a small hill from Waterloo Quadrant. Originally, this was only a mud track nicknamed the Ho Chi Minh trail but this was paved when the Davis Law Library was completed and replaced Eden Crescent as the main entrance into the Law School grounds.
Until 1991, the Law school was formerly based on the top three floors of the University Library building. Rumours have circulated regarding the relocation of the law school back onto the main campus, but these are without factual merit.
