Istanbul Commerce University was founded in 2001 by the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce Education and Social Services Foundation, and the Faculty of Law has been one of the university’s academic units since its founding. The faculty’s academic staff consists of academics who are experts in their fields and contribute to academic production.

The faculty’s founding purpose is to train competent legal professionals who, after understanding the formation and development of law, can interpret the legal rules they learn and identify and analyze the issues they encounter in social life from a legal perspective. The program aims to equip students with legal reasoning skills through coursework enriched with practical exercises that analyze current legal issues, judicial review, and doctrinal perspectives. Among the program’s objectives is to equip students with the ability to follow legal developments not only in national but also in international law, to reason about legal issues in this area, and to develop solutions. Thus, the primary goal is to train competent legal professionals who can respond to the need to update the legal system within the framework of changing and evolving conditions. In this context, since its establishment, the department has earned graduates who have worked in Turkey’s leading public and private sector organizations, making a name for themselves in the business world alongside their academic achievements. The department offers undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral education, providing students with a solid foundation for their academic careers.
