Brief History

Initially the Faculty of Law, University of Indonesia was a secondary education specializing in law (Rechtsschool) established by the Dutch colonial government to cater the need of Indonesian clerks within the courts dominated by Dutch judges

In 1924 the rechtsschool was upgraded to become a tertiary education known to be Rechtshogeschool

The Rechtshogeschool had two departments: the Law Department and Social Sciences Department

The Rechtshogeschool was later on merged with a medical school (School tot Opleiding van Inlandsche Artsen or Stovia) to become Universiteit van Indonesie

In 1955, after Indonesia 's independence, Universiteit van Indonesie became University of Indonesia or Universitas Indonesia

Since 1968 the Social Sciences Department became the Faculty of Social Sciences, separated from the Faculty of Law

In 2001 University of Indonesia became autonomous from the Government, and consequently the Faculty of Law is transforming itself from government-based bureaucracy to a modern educational institution-based bureaucracy
