The FEU Institute of Law opened its doors in 1934, making it one of the older colleges of law in the country. The Institute is proud of its alumni whose accomplishments have honored their alma mater and the legal profession.

These include two justices of the Supreme Court, a Secretary of Justice, several justices of the Court of Appeals and Sandiganbayan, regional and municipal trial court judges and government prosecutors.

In addition, many of its graduates now occupy positions of leadership in the community and play vital roles in legal practice, business and government service. Also, the Institute has the unique distinction of having had two Senate Presidents serve as Dean – Jovito Salonga from 1957-1965 and Neptali Gonzales from 1976-1986.

In 2003, the Institute teamed-up with the De La Salle University Graduate School of Business to offer The MBA-JD Dual Degree Program, which is the country’s first post-graduate dual degree program in business and law. The program was developed to prepare students to approach problems from different perspectives and was designed to provide students with the understanding, knowledge and skills necessary to excel in two interrelated disciplines.
