- 1645: St. Étienne sees the installation of a royal tribunal and the creation of the Seneschalty of Saint-Étienne. The legal professions (lawyers, magistrates, notaries) take on an increasingly important position in the city but are educated at the University of Valence.
- Late 19th century: St. Étienne students attend the newly-founded Faculty of Lyon.
- 1963: At the initiative of the legal professions, local elected officials and university students from St. Étienne, a university college of St. Étienne is founded based on education in the law.
- 1969: When the University of St. Étienne was founded, the Faculty of Law and Economics was already an essential component of the University.
- 1999: The jurists and economists are separated, resulting in a Faculty of Law, on the one hand, and on the other the ISEAG (which later became the IAE).
