Abstract

The present work entails the importance of the Law Academy of Largo de São Francisco regarding the formation of Brazilian legal culture, focusing on the Imperial period until the proclamation of the Republic. Since its foundation, the Law Academy of Largo de São Francisco portrays the political, intellectual, and cultural history of Brazil, as an important agent of abolitionism and republicanism through the Brazilian Empire. It had also a pivotal role in the growth and development of São Paulo, with relevant contributions in fields such as journalism, literature, theater, culture, and morals. The study offers an innovative perspective on the history of Higher Education in Brazil, with the first Law courses in São Paulo and Olinda, the academic life, the cultural effervescence of the period, the abolitionism, the Republic, and the curricular changes regarding the Law courses.
