The establishment of the Department of Law began with the introduction of the Master’s Program in Law as a graduate program within the Department of Judiciary and Sharia Policy at the College of Sharia in 1428 AH. Subsequently, the Department of Law was established as an independent department separate from the Department of Judiciary and Sharia Policy at the College of Sharia on 14/11/1430 AH, with the approval of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, the Prime Minister and Chairman of the Council of Higher Education, based on the minutes of the fifty-sixth session of the Council of Higher Education held on 22/10/1430 AH.
The Department of Law and the Department of Judiciary and Sharia Policy were subsequently established as independent departments within the College of Law and Judicial Studies, which included the Departments of Law and Judicial Studies. More recently, the College became the College of Law and Economics pursuant to University Council Resolution No. (2/16/45), dated 12/03/1445 AH.
