- Abstract
The author, who was the first director of the Institute of Canon Law established in the Estudio General de Navarra in 1959, gives a direct, documented account of the circumstances surrounding the origin of the center. In 1957, St. Josemaría Escrivá, founder of Opus Dei and the University of Navarra, initiated the project as part of an overall plan to promote the institutional development of the Estudio General de Navarra by establishing a School of Canon Law. An important role in the development process was played by D. Álvaro del Portillo, the former Secretary General of Opus Dei, who was commissioned by St. Josemaría to address a number of specific issues with the Nuncio and the bishops of Spain. The center was established in June 1959 by means of a formula of aggregation to the Institute Utriusque Iuris of the Lateran Pontifical University. On 25 October 25 1960, the Institute became the School of Canon Law.
