The Law School was established in 1964 and now operates within the faculty of Law, Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Strathclyde. The Law School has recently expanded to newly-designed accommodation in the Lord Hope Building (named after David Hope, Baron Hope of Craighead). The new Law School accommodation was officially opened by the Lord Advocate Elish Angiolini QC in February 2007.

The Law School is one of the top Law School's in Scotland and one of the most highly regarded in the UK.

Post-graduate courses, including the Diploma in Legal Practice, are available from the Glasgow Graduate School of Law (GGSL). The GGSL is a joint collaboration of the University of Strathclyde and Glasgow University. The GGSL is based on Strathclyde Campus in the Lord Hope Building.

The Law Clinic

In October 2003 the Law School set up what remains the first and only University-run Law Clinic in Scotland.

The Law Clinic offers free legal advice and help to patrons of Glasgow and the surrounding area who cannot afford a solicitor or do not qualify for legal aid. Dealing with mainly Employment and Small Claims issues, the Clinic has branched out in recent years into Planning, Environmental, and Landlord and Tenant areas of law, helping a vast amount of people along the way.

Current Law Clinic offices are located on Level 3 of the Lord Hope Building, on the University of Strathclyde John Anderson campus.

The current Law Clinic Director is founder Professor Donald Nicolson.
