Over the sixty years of its existence, the Faculty of Law, University of Maribor, has gained great renown both at home and worldwide.

Outstanding developments in the field of commercial law have been joined by no less visible achievements in the areas of all other legal disciplines.

The faculty is a distinguished centre of knowledge in the field of EU law.

We offer modern study programmes at three levels while promoting the integration of theory and practice.

We have also launched a new Master’s study programme in English.

We are successfully following new trends and teaching methods.

Our activities include moot courts with participation in prestigious student competitions, legal clinics, student practice.

Students are involved in faculty research projects.

Center for Medical Law, Laboratory for Intellectual Property Law, and several other projects are all active within the framework of the Faculty of Law.

Ultimately, the goal is to create a profile of a well-informed, upstanding lawyer who can think for themselves.

We educate the highest levels of legal professions, such as judges, lawyers, public prosecutors, state attorneys, and notaries.

However, our graduates are also trained for other types of professional challenges.

The faculty is distinguished by its international orientation.

Through a dedicated network of partner institutions, we are facilitating the exchange of both students and professors.

The rejuvenated staff consists of excellent professors, researchers, and associates, including some from abroad.

The faculty’s acclaim stems from their research achievements and their responses to contemporary social developments, of which we are justifiably proud.

Finally, we are always proud of our students.
