The Faculty of Law was founded in 1954, under the name "Higher Legal Institute". After the creation of the State University of Tirana, the Higher Institute of Law was included in this University, as one of the seven faculties, under the name "Faculty of Law".
In 1965, it was reorganized and renamed "Faculty of Political and Legal Sciences", where the branch of political science and that of justice were included. These branches prepared, respectively, specialists of the political profile for the central and local bodies of power and lawyers for the bodies of justice and state administration.
In 1967, the branch of journalism was opened near this Faculty, which prepared journalists for the press and Albanian Radio-Television.In 1991, the branch of law was separated from that of philosophy, which had replaced the branch of political science. Two separate faculties were thus created, while the branch of journalism was transferred to the Faculty of History and Philology.
Currently the Faculty is called "Faculty of Law".Until the 70s, the duration of studies was four years, while, afterwards, it was reduced to three years of studies, followed by a year of teaching practice at the judiciary.In the 80s, the term of four-year studies was returned to this Faculty.
After the 90s, the Faculty of Law underwent many changes.The inclusion of new notions and practices of the rule of law necessarily dictated the reformation of the Faculty in academic, scientific, educational and physical capacity aspects. Starting from 1991, the plans and teaching programs were changed and designed according to western models, also the Faculty was reorganized and restructured in form and content according to the requirements of the time.
Currently, the Faculty operates on the basis of new teaching programs, in accordance with the programs of Western schools, based on the Bologna declaration and adapted to the concrete conditions of our country, offering study programs in all three cycles: Bachelor, Master and Doctorate.
The faculty cooperates with a number of institutions for the performance of teaching practices for students or for their employment.It also provides the appropriate facilities for the preparation and formation of students.
