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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“No one is ahead of his time, it is only that the particular variety of creating his time is the one that his contemporaries who are also creating their own time refuse to accept.... For a very long time everybody refuses and then almost without a pause almost everybody accepts. In the history of the refused in the arts and literature the rapidity of the change is always startling.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“The greatest honor history can bestow is that of peacemaker.”
—Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)
“... that there is no other way,
That the history of creation proceeds according to
Stringent laws, and that things
Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
