The Faculty of Law was established in 1924.
The then Vice-Chancellor of the University of Delhi, and himself a great lawyer, jurist, and educationist, Dr. Hari Singh Gour was the first Dean of the Faculty of Law.
The Faculty was initially housed in the Prince's Pavilion in the Old Viceregal Lodge Grounds.
It was only in 1963 that the faculty moved to its present location at the Chhatra Marg, University of Delhi, Delhi.

The Bachelor of laws (LL.B.) degree course was, initially, started as a two-year part-time course, teaching being conducted in the morning with ten teachers.
In 1942, along with the morning, evening classes were also started.
In 1944, the one-year Master of laws (LL.M.) degree course was introduced.
In 1947, after Independence and partition of the country, the demand for the study of law increased.
It was also time to look beyond the entrenched British model and restructure legal education to meet the demands of a now Independent India clamouring for equality in access to power, respect and knowledge.
Lawyers played a major role in the struggle for freedom.
They now had to be trained to create & use law as an instrument of social change and, as Nehru put it, to wipe a tear from every eye.
In 1947, LL.B. was made a full-time course (classes being held both in the morning and evening) and new courses were added.
LL.M. was made a whole time two-year course.
Two new courses, namely, Certificate of Proficiency (Law) and Bachelor of Civil Laws (B.C.L.) were introduced (later abolished in 1961 and 1966, respectively).
