History

Chuo was founded as the English Law School (イギリス法律学校, Igirisu Hōritsu Gakkō^?) in 1885 at kanda in Tokyo by a group of lawyers. By 1889, the school had moved and been renamed Tokyo College of Law (Tokyo Hōgakuin). The curriculum was changed to reflect the government reform of Japanese law and creation of a new civil code. Opposition to the implementation of the new civil code resulted in the government shuttering of the campus journal and the subsequent creation of the Chuo Law Review (Hōgaku Shinpo), which has since been published regularly. Kanda can mean:- Kanda, Tokyo, a place in Japan. ... A civil code is a systematic compilation of laws designed to comprehensively deal with the core areas of private law. ... A law review is a scholarly journal focusing on legal issues, normally published by an organization of students at a law school or through a bar association. ...

The university burned down in the Great Kanda Fire of 1892, but was able to hold temporary classes. By 1903, the school been promoted to Tokyo University of Law (Tokyo Hōgakuin Daigaku) and in 1905 the school expanded with a department of economics, renaming itself Chuo University.

Another fire torched the campus in June 1917, but it was rebuilt by August 1918. The 1923 Great Kantō earthquake again reduced the campus to rubble and it was rebuilt, moving to Kanda-Surugadai in 1926.
