“Theory and practice” has been the guiding principle of Sophia University's Faculty of Law for more than 65 years.

This article traces the history of the Faculty, from its establishment in 1957 with the support of Cardinal Joseph Frings of West Germany to the development of internationally oriented legal education and pioneering initiatives in global environmental law.
