Law School of Fluminense Federal University

The Fluminense Federal University Law School (Portuguese: Faculdade de Direito da Universidade Federal Fluminense) is a public legal education institution located at Rua Presidente Pedreira, 62, in the Ingá district of Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Founded in 1912 as the Faculdade Livre de Direito de Niterói (Free School of Law of Niterói), it became part of the Fluminense Federal University (UFF) following the 1960s university reform in Brazil.

Recognized as one of the oldest law schools in the country, the institution is known for its traditional doctrinal instruction, active academic research, and contributions to public service. In recent decades, the school has gained national recognition for its student engagement in legal theory, constitutional law, and social justice initiatives.

In the 14th Order of Attorneys of Brazil Bar Exam (OAB), the Fluminense Federal University Law School achieved a national Top 5 ranking, with an approval rate of 82.64%. This result reflected a historically strong performance in doctrinal instruction and legal examination readiness. The exam is a prerequisite for legal practice in the country and is considered one of the most rigorous professional licensure processes in Latin America. Performance in the OAB exam is commonly used as an informal benchmark for evaluating the quality of legal education institutions in Brazil.
