The teaching of law at the Holy Spirit University of Kaslik (USEK) reconciles the solidity of tradition to adaptation to modern requirements, with particular concern for meeting the needs of the local, regional and international employment market.

Ever since its foundation, the Lebanese Maronite Order has been concerned with giving its monks a solid foundation in Canon Law. From the very beginning, it has been anxious to develop this tradition by extending it to the Lebanese in general in all the legal disciplines. This movement took concrete form on 10th November, 1988, 40th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of the Rights of Man, by the inauguration of its Faculty of Law at Jbeil-Byblos.

During the month of September 1999, the Faculty of Law joined the other USEK Faculties on the Kaslik campus and undertook a reform of its system of instruction by the adoption of the credit system and semesters. During the university year 2001-2002, the Faculty of Law made a thorough review of its programs in order to adapt them to the evolution of the legal disciplines, as has been done throughout the world. It deployed, moreover, efforts to reinforce its doctoral school namely through the establishment of partnerships with the Faculties of Law at the University of Paris I Pantheon-Sorbonne and the University of Montpellier I.
