General Information

The formation of the Faculty of Law in Taurida University has a long and dramatic history. The decision to organize the University in Simferopol was made in pre-revolutionary Russia, but it was postponed because of the World War I. Then Kiev University made a decision to open its branch in Crimea, but revolutionary events prevented it from being fulfilled. Faculty of Law was opened in 1918 and was functioning up to 1920. As powers changed very often at that time, their attitude to the Faculty of Law was different. Soviets banned it, the White Guard restored it. Great financial assistance was offered to the Faculty of Law by Baron P. I. Vrangel.

The revival of juridical school began after proclamation of independence in Ukraine in 1991. First 25 students entered speciality "Law" at Historical Department in 1992. Then the Department of Law was organized, and in 1995 the Faculty of Law was restored that had preserved the best traditions of juridical education in Tauricheskiy University in 1918≈1920 and is now preparing specialist for modern independent Ukraine.

To perform better training of specialists, several re-organizations were made at the Faculty, and now there are 6 departments here. In 2003 the Scientific and Educational Center of Kyiv University of Law was organized to prepare law specialists by correspondence.

The Director of the Center is Elena N. Redkina.

The address of the Center:
4 Vernadskiy Ave.
