The Faculty of Law at the University of the Free State is situated near the Supreme Court of Appeal and is one of the oldest law faculties in South Africa.

The Faculty of Law is committed to excellence in teaching and to delivering jurists with qualifications of international renown to the professions.

Legal education will open up doors to a wide variety of professions, including the advocate’s profession, attorney’s profession, legal advisors, labour consultants, prosecutors, magistrates, and the insurance and banking industries.
The faculty is renowned for research of international standing, and is also involved with community engagement, where the UFS Law Clinic and several centres in the faculty directly play a major role.

The faculty enjoys close ties with several international law schools and law faculties, in especially Britain, Europe and the USA.

The faculty is proud of its alumni association of former law students who remain loyal to the faculty, and the Collegium Iurisprudentium, an advice panel for the faculty.
