Leiden Law School

'Leiden is the place for Law'

Leiden Law School is one of Leiden University’s seven faculties. Each year more than 1000 students choose to study Law, Notarial Law, Tax Law or Criminology.

With our international focus and roots going far back in the Dutch legal order, we have trained many generations of legal professionals for key positions in a society governed by the rule of law.  

Our research is not limited to one single spearhead, but we strive to conduct excellent and cutting-edge research across the full breadth of the law.

We are proud of our position in international rankings, such as the Times Higher Education World University Rankings (THE). Leiden Law School ranks number 27 in the THE by subject.
