History

The School of Law was created in 1952. Lectures were initially held in the Cámara de Comptos de Navarra (a historic building where the Old Kingdom of Navarra's Treasury Chamber was located), and later, in the building of the Museum of Navarra. When the university's Campus was first constructed in 1963, the School of Law operated from the university's Central Building. The current School of Law Building was inaugurated in 1992. A new construction project is currently underway to build a large academic center to house the combined disciplines of Law and Economics. In 2011, the law school announced the planned construction of a smaller campus in Madrid. [1] In 2020, UNAV Law started offering a master's degree in digital law at the university's Madrid campu, as part of an agreement with Spanish law firm Uría Menéndez  [ es ]. [2]

The school, in conjunction with the Parliament of Navarre, organizes the Jornadas del Aula de Derecho Parlamentario, an annual conference on parliamentary law. [3] Additionally, UNAV Law hosts the Latin America Summit, a series of conferences, which have included former-Spanish Foreign Minister, Trinidad Jiménez, amongst its speakers. [4]

Upon admission of Fidel Alonso-Allende, UNAV Development Director, to uphold the institution's rankings "the first important point is to have a solid national and international commercial network that is dedicated to identifying talent all over the world," for which the admissions office visits schools, presenting them with the possible career opportunities after earning their law degrees.
