The current school of law was originally established as one of the three colleges of the University of Orlando (originally chartered under the name of Florida Technical University), the other two schools being graduate programs in business and education, the university had no undergraduate students. The founder and first president of the University of Orlando was Dr. Neil R. Euliano who was at the time the owner of the for-profit Florida Technical College based in Orlando. Euliano, who had operated for-profit trade schools starting in 1982, established the non-profit University of Orlando in 1993 and its law school in 1995. The University of Orlando started its inaugural law school class on September 18, 1995. The first year the law school had only evening and weekend courses and a full-time faculty of four professors. The charter class began their studies at the for-profit Florida Technical College's campus.
