The Faculty of Law at Sagesse University is the first Law Faculty in Lebanon and the Middle East. It was established in 1875, under the reign of Mgr. Youssef DEBS, Bishop of Beirut by that time and founder of La Sagesse University.
The Faculty used to teach Law as well as Islamic doctrine in Arabic. Students were Lebanese and Arabs. The teaching body was composed of eminent professors.
La Sagesse’s Mission is conveyed through its cultural and national commitment deeply rooted in the history of Lebanon. Its origins go back to 1852 when Mgr. Toubia Aoun, Archbishop of the Maronite Archdiocese of Beirut back then, established his seminar in Ain Saadé.
In 1875, Mgr. Youssef Debs, the successor of Mgr. Aoun, considered it more suitable to move to a better location in order to lead the adventure of a cultural revival in the city of Beirut.
He founded « La Sagesse » with its Law Institute that taught Civil Law and the Islami « Fiqh » by well-known Muslim scholars.
