Baylor Law School - History

History

Baylor originally established the law school in 1857; at that time it was the second law school established west of the Mississippi. Law classes continued until 1883 when the school was discontinued.

In 1920, the Board of Trustees reestablished the law school (called the Law Department at that time) under the direction of Dean Allen G. Flowers. The school was temporarily suspended from 1943-1946 as a result of World War II.

Bradley J.B. Toben currently serves as Dean of the Law School.
