[edit] Name
Despite the word "Law" in the name, the School offers a variety of education programmes and courses. Because of the new faculties and divisions opened, the School would like to change its name.[3]

The Bratislava School of Law was founded in 2004 by a non-profit organisation, Bratislavská akademická spoločnosť (English: Bratislava Academic Society). The establishment of the School is often credited to Ján Čarnogurský, a former Slovak prime minister, and member of the Academic Society.[4] It was founded as the 28th College in Slovakia and the fourth private college.[5]
