Faculdade de Direito da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais
Faculdade de Direito da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais is the university's oldest unit, and even appeared before UFMG. Recognized internationally, it is considered a center of excellence in legal education, professional training with great ability and critical view. The qualification of teachers - most have the title of doctor - and the high level of students ensure the recognition of its progress.HistoryThe UFMG School of Law was founded in 1892, under the name "Free School of Law", in Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais. In 1898 it was moved to Belo Horizonte.At first, the Law School occupied a building on Rua Pernambuco (at Savassi neighborhood), then it was moved to Rua da Bahia (at Lourdes neighborhood) and after that, to Praça da República (Republic Square), which today corresponds to the Praça Afonso Arinos (Afonso Arinos Square), where it still remains as of 2009.In 1958, the old building was demolished, giving place the Villas-Boas building (inaugurated by the Director Antonio Martins Villas-Bôas), the Valle-Ferreira building (inaugurated by the Dean Washington Peluso Albino de Souza in 1990) and the Library building, inaugurated in 1998 by the Dean Aloizio Gonzaga Araujo de Andrade.Inside the Library building, it was built, in original size and design, the first façade of the Free School of Law.In December 2007, the Congregation of the School approved its transfer to UFMG's Pampulha Campus, buildings are to be constructed in coming years.
