Leiden Law School

'Leiden is the place for Law and Criminology'

As a faculty, we are committed to achieving a just and safe society. Since 1575, we have built on our knowledge and expertise which is recognised throughout the world; a world which is changing and becoming increasingly complex. So we are constantly looking at what is needed now and in the future to meet the challenges we face in society.

With innovative multidisciplinary academic education and research, we connect law, criminology, and economics to the world around us – from as close as our local neighbourhood, to as far as outer space. Making an impact with law. Our locations in Leiden and The Hague are meeting places for curious, open-minded and committed students and staff, both national and international. Together with our partners in the academic world and in society, we offer students and professionals opportunities for lifelong development. As a result, bonds are built that last a lifetime.
