Leiden’s legal tradition

The university’s tradition in law is equally historic, dating back to the time of Hugo de Groot (Grotius, often referred to as the ‘Mozart of International Law’, started his studies at Leiden University at age 11). Leiden Law School, the oldest and largest in the Netherlands, is located in a beautifully renovated national monument in the historic heart of the city. In addition, Leiden Law School has established the Grotius Centre for International Legal Studies , located in a 400-year old building at Leiden University’s Campus The Hague.
