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.
