The history of Brazil is intertwined with that of the law school Faculdade de Direito do Largo de São Francisco. Founded by a decree from Brazil’s emperor Dom Pedro I on 11 August 1827, and incorporated into the University of São Paulo in 1934, SanFran, as it is kindly known, has played a role in many of the main political and social events in the country, from the struggle to end slavery to the more recent defence of democracy.
