In 1895, the year in which LSE was established, commercial and industrial law were among the nine courses offered at the university. In 1906, LSE's law faculty became part of the intercollegiate faculty of law of the
University of London, alongside the law schools of
University College London and
King's College London, which continued into the 1960s for undergraduate courses. Among those teaching law in the early days at LSE were
Robert Wright, later appointed a
law lord,
A. V. Dicey, Vinerian Professor of English Law at
Oxford, and L. F. L. Oppenheim. In 1919, H. C. Gutteridge was appointed as the first full-time
Professor of Law at the LSE Law School and Sir
Ernest Cassel, was appointed subsequently as
Professor of Industrial and Commercial law. Cassel led the expansion of the school from one full-time professor, five part-time lecturers and two other part-time teachers in 1924 to a full-time staff of ten, with four professors, two readers and four lecturers, in 1934, forming the largest law department of any University of London college. In the 1930s the school was joined by German-Jewish jurists fleeing Nazi persecution, including
Otto Kahn-Freund.
David Hughes Parry held the professorship of English law from 1930 to 1959, and in 1937
Robert Chorley founded the
Modern Law Review at the school. == Facilities ==
