Strathclyde Law School was established in 1964 and operates within the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences at the University of Strathclyde, in Glasgow, Scotland.
The Law School currently operates from the Graham Hills Building having been temporarily relocated from the Lord Hope Building (named after Lord Hope of Craighead, Chancellor of the University and Deputy President of the UK Supreme Court) until the summer of 2012 as part of a more extensive refurbishment of that building. The Law School's Lord Hope Building facilities were officially opened by the Lord Advocate, Elish Angiolini QC in February 2007.
The Law School offers a full range of undergraduate and postgraduate taught and research degrees.

The Law Clinic offers free legal advice and help to residents of Glasgow and the surrounding area who cannot afford a solicitor or do not qualify for legal aid. Dealing mainly with employment law and small claims issues, the Clinic has branched out in recent years into planning, environmental, and landlord and tenant areas of law.
The current Law Clinic offices are located on Level 5 of the Graham Hills Building, on the University of Strathclyde John Anderson campus.
