The Faculty of Law was established in 1924 and the then Vice-Chancellor of the University of Delhi,Dr.Hari Singh Gaur was its first Dean.The Faculty was initially housed in the Prince's Pavilion in the Old Viceregal Lodge Grounds.It was only in 1963 that the faculty moved to its present location at the Chhatra Marg,University of Delhi, Delhi. Initially, Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) Degree course was treated as part-time course and the teaching was conducted in the morning. The evening classes along with morning classes for LL.B. started in the year 1942. The teaching for one year Master of of Laws (LL.M.) Degree started in the year 1944. LL.M. was made a whole-time two year course in the year 1947. As a result of partition of the country in 1947, the rush to the Faculty increased. Two new courses,viz., Degree of Bachelor of Civil Laws (B.C.L.) and Certificate of Proficiency (Law), were made a whole-time course though classes were held both in the morning as well as in the evening.
