On a sweltering July day in 1996, a pivotal moment unfolded for legal education in Portugal. Right here, at the NOVA School of Law, a vision was ignited. The Minister of Education, Marçal Grilo, decreed the establishment of a groundbreaking institution. He sought to revolutionize the study of law. The NOVA School of Law, formerly known as Faculdade de Direito da Universidade Nova de Lisboa (FDUNL), was born. This marked a radical shift from traditional legal education. NOVA School of Law aimed to foster innovation. It championed research in emerging legal fields and equipped students with practical skills to meet the evolving demands of the legal profession. Professor Diogo Freitas do Amaral, the founding father of the institution, spearheaded this ambitious endeavor. He envisioned a faculty dedicated to bridging the gap between theory and practice. The NOVA School of Law prides itself on its distinguished faculty, composed almost entirely of doctorates and a select group of assistants. This ensures a close-knit learning environment. The emphasis on practical application sets this school apart. Students engage in interdisciplinary legal practice, breaking down the barriers between legal disciplines. This approach fosters a comprehensive understanding of the legal field. They apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios. While the NOVA School of Law currently resides at the Campolide Campus, there are plans to relocate to a new campus in Carcavelos. This move will place the law school closer to the NOVA School of Business and Economics. It will foster greater interdisciplinary collaboration and opportunities.
