The Recife School of Law, is the law school of the Federal University of Pernambuco (formerly in Portuguese Faculdade de Direito do Recife and now Faculdade de Direito da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco), it is located in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil.

History

The Recife Law School was one of the first superior education centres created in Brazil. It was created (together with the Faculdade de Direito da Universidade de São Paulo) on August 11, 1827, by an imperial law of Dom Pedro I, of Brazil. It was first located in the city of Olinda, and then moved to Recife in 1854. Since 1912 it has been located in its own palace at the square Dr. Adolfo Cirne in downtown Recife.

Since its inception, the Recife Law School has been important not only for graduating law graduates but also for serving as a centre of excellence in philosophy and the humanities. It is one of the most significant higher education institutions in Brazil.

Between 1860 and 1960 a social, philosophic, intellectual movement known as "Escola do Recife [pt]" (the Recife's school) influenced positivist philosophy and its understanding. Many of the most remarkable Brazilian politicians, poets, sociologists and lawyers studied there such as Tobias Barreto, Teixeira de Freitas, Assis Chateaubriand, Rio Branco, Nilo Peçanha, Eusébio de Queirós, Epitácio Pessoa, Castro Alves, Sílvio Romero, João Pessoa, Clóvis Beviláqua, Capistrano de Abreu, Graça Aranha, Araripe Júnior, Pontes de Miranda, Barbosa Lima Sobrinho, José Lins do Rego, Paulo Freire, Ariano Suassuna, Zacarias de Góis e Vasconcelos, Rosa e Silva, Sinimbu, Paranaguá, João Alfredo, José Linhares, and Câmara Cascudo.

Its post graduate course has approximately 970 students and has received the excellency award from the Order of the lawyers of Brazil (OAB) – Ordem do Advogados do Brasil. The Recife Law School has one of the most important juridical libraries in Brazil, with more than 100,000 books, many of them rare.
