History

The Faculty of Law was founded in 1667, 32 years later the foundation of Eötvös Loránd University. Between 1667 and 1872, law education was only at the Faculty of Law in Hungary. Since the foundation of the Babeș-Bolyai University (at that time called Franz Joseph University) in 1872, there had been more universities offering courses on law.

Since the nineteenth century, there had been a high quality of law education attributed to the following educators: Gusztáv Wenzel, Jenő Balogh, Győző Concha, László Fayer, Béni Grosschmid, Sándor Plósz, Gusztáv Szászy-Schwarz, and Tamás Vécsey. For a long time, the professors of the Faculyt were at the same time members of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.

In 1900 the edifice of the Faculty was inaugurated. The building was designed by Sándor Baumgarten and Zsigmond Herczegh.[2]

Between World War I and World War II, there had been high quality of education related to the following professors: Ferenc Eckhart, László Gajzágó, Zoltán Magyary, Géza Marton, Gyula Moór, Ákos Navratil, Endre Nizsalovszky, and Károly Szladits.

In 1948, several changes were implemented following the principles of Socialism causing damages to the entire structure of the Faculty. These changes included the introduction of the obligatory seminars, the structure of the Faculty, the foundation of student associations and etc.[3]

In 1987, Viktor Orbán graduated from the Faculty. During his studies at the Faculty, he also founded the journal Szászadvég.[4]
