History
The origins of the School of Law begin with the foundation of the University of St Andrews, around 1413. As with many of that University's "professional subjects", the teaching of Law was in later years focused upon its Queen's College site in Dundee, founded in 1881. In 1967, the independent University of Dundee was created by Royal Charter, incorporating the former Queen's College, including the School of Law. St Andrews became, and remains, the only ancient university not to offer the study of Law.
The School of Law was only created in its present form following the reorganisation of the University in August 2006, when the Faculty of Law and Accountancy was abolished and the Schools of Law and Accountancy were created in its place, within the College of Arts and Social Sciences.
The current Dean of the School of Law is Professor Alan Page.

“You that would judge me do not judge alone
This book or that, come to this hallowed place
Where my friends’ portraits hang and look thereon;

Think where man’s glory most begins and ends
And say my glory was I had such friends.”
