It was established at the era of Ismail in 
1868. It was known at that time as School of Management and Languages, then 
school of Management was separated from school of languages in 1882. It remained 
as it is until July1886 when it became known as school of law. It was divided 
into two departments: primary and high; the primary department included the 
first two years; it aimed at graduating bailiffs and clerks of the court. The 
subjects of study were French language, translation, history, geography, Arabic 
handwriting, French handwriting, bookkeeping, judicial system, principles of 
pleading, and judicial procedures. The high department was three years of study. 
It aimed at graduating heads of clerks of courts, members of prosecution, and 
other clerks whom careers require legal culture. Subjects of that department 
were Arabic language, French language, Italian language, translation, history, 
Islamic Shariah, civil law, criminal law, law of pleadings, commercial law, and 
Romanian law.
The school had department of translation which consisted of one class to 
graduate translators needed for government jobs, however, that department was 
cancelled in 1887. Then, curriculum was modified in the following year and 
administrative law was added to study subjects.
In 1892, primary department was cancelled and many of non legal study subjects 
were removed from curricula, and legal subjects were increased. Graduates of 
school of law were given Bachelor Diploma of Law. At the same year, a department 
was established at the school to graduate police officers. Obtainers of primary 
stage joined that department where they studied law of sanctions and criminal 
investigation, soon this department was cancelled in 1901.
The English department was established at the school in 1899, and began to grow 
gradually, overshadowing the French department, until the study became in 
English in 1915. However, the Egyptian professors, who replaced the Englishmen 
throughout the war, played a great role in Arabizing the study at the school of 
law.
In 1912, school of law was separated from Ministry of Education, and became 
subordinated to Ministry of Justice, then it returned again to the Ministry of 
Education in 1932.
