Abstract

The first legal courses in Brazil were created in 1827, with the installation of the law faculties of São Paulo and Olinda (the latter transferred to Recife in 1854). These Academies played a significant role in the development of the country in the post-independence period, since they formed numerous bachelors that until today are remembered for their remarkable contributions in Brazilian history, although few have stood out for their work in the legal area. Through a research carried out in historiography, the present article had as objective to analyze what was taught in the traditional faculties of law of Brazil in the first decades of the creation of the superior courses. It was concluded that the law courses, rather than the production of legal knowledge, were aimed at the formation of an ideologically integrated elite according to the interests of the political-liberal model that was intended to be established, serving the Academies as a recruitment center of professionals for the composition of the cadres of the state bureaucracy, including the Judiciary. In other words, it was through the faculties of São Paulo and Olinda/Recife that the bachelors responsible for the format of the political and economic organization then desired by the dominant elite at the time were forged.
