Our History
How we started
The AUF School of Law was established in response to the clamor for quality legal education in Central Luzon. The establishment of the School earned approval from the AUF Board of Trustees on August 19, 2003 during its 56th Regular Meeting presided over by Pampanga Archbishop Paciano B. Aniceto, D.D., in his capacity as Chairman of the Board. The approval was followed by immense planning and preparation that spanned three years which included the construction of the AUF Professional Schools Building, now home to the School.
The Commission on Higher Education, upon the recommendation of the Technical Panel for Legal Education, resolved to grant AUF the permit to operate the School of Law on March 13, 2006. Under the leadership of Retired Supreme Court Justice Jose C. Vitug as Founding Dean and Atty. Domingo M. Navarro as Vice Dean, the School boasts of a roster of faculty members composed of jurists and distinguished law professors. The School is equipped with a modern law library, a moot court and state-of-the-art facilities which provide for a conducive teaching and learning environment.
The School of Law received a Certificate of Recognition from the Legal Education Board for its notable performance in the 2012, 2013 and 2014 Bar Examinations as certified by the Office of the Bar Confidant. It was listed as the top performing law school among those with 19 or less examinees. Today, the School of Law is consistently among the Top 10 law schools nationwide and the No. 1 in Northern and Central Luzon.
