Until the School of Law became associated with a physical campus, classes were held at the Bexar County Courthouse.

In an attempt to maximize the educational and material resources of the fledgling institution, the Board of Governors negotiated with St. Mary's University regarding a transfer of the School of Law's administrative control.

The transfer was completed on October 1, 1934, and St. Mary's University School of Law was officially established.

The School of Law was then housed at St. Mary's University's original downtown campus at 112 College Street.

Possessing several military bases, San Antonio experienced a surge of population and industry in the years immediately following the World War II.

In addition, the Center for Legal and Social Justice recently partnered with the University of Texas School of Law Richard and Ginni Mithoff Pro Bono Program to launch the San Antonio Gender Affirmation Project.

A federal depository, the Library's collection consists of print, microfilm, and multimedia items totaling over 400,000 volumes (or equivalent).

The modernization project included the installation of information technology tools, which mirror that of the courtrooms in the Bexar County Courthouse.

The Courtroom seats 300 and features interchangeable furniture and fixture configurations, suiting the needs of either appellate or trial proceedings.
