The UCL Faculty of Laws is the law school of University College London (UCL), a member institution of the federal University of London. It is one of UCL's 11 constituent faculties and is based in London, United Kingdom.[1]
With a history dating back to 1827, the faculty was the first law school in England to admit students regardless of their religion, the first to admit women on equal terms with men, the first to award a law degree to a woman, Eliza Orme, and appointed one of the first three female law professors in the UK, Valentine Korah, who pioneered the study of competition law in Europe.[2][3]
The faculty in 2022-23 reported a student body comprising 825 enrolled undergraduates, 450 taught full and part time post-graduates and around 50 research (MPhil/PhD) students,[4] and offers a variety of undergraduate and graduate degrees.[5] It publishes a number of journals, including Current Legal Problems and the UCL Journal of Law and Jurisprudence. It is the only university in the UK to hold a legal aid contract, which forms part of its Integrated Legal Advice Clinic (iLAC).[6]
