The Faculty of Law, Gadjah Mada University (Indonesian: Fakultas Hukum Universitas Gadjah Mada, abbreviated as FH UGM) is the law school of Gadjah Mada University, a public university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Founded in February 1946, it is the first law school established after the Proclamation of Indonesian Independence.

## History

[edit]

The Faculty of Law, Gadjah Mada University, was originally established as Faculteit Hoekoem Balai Perguruan Tinggi Gadjah Mada (FH BPTGM) on 17 February 1946 at SMA Negeri 3 Yogyakarta and was inaugurated on 3 March at the Central Indonesian National Committee Building.[1] The name Gadjah Mada was proposed by Boediarto, and the first lecture took place on 18 March at the Kraton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat.[1]

On 7 December 1949, FH BPTGM merged with the law school in Surakarta and was renamed Sekolah Tinggi Hukum Jogjakarta (STHJ).[1] Following the issuance of Government Regulation No. 23 of 1949, STHJ became Faculteit Hukum Universiteit Negeri Gadjah Mada (FHUNGM) on 19 December 1949.[1] After the government issued Government Regulation No. 30 of 1950 on 14 August 1950, FHUNGM was renamed Fakultit Hukum, Sosial, dan Politik, Universitit Negeri Gadjah Mada (FHSP UNGM).[1] A branch school in Surabaya later became the Faculty of Law at Airlangga University.[1]

On 19 September 1952, FHSP UNGM was renamed Fakultit Hukum, Ekonomi, Sosial dan Politik Universitit Negeri Gadjah Mada (FHESP UNGM).[1] It was then renamed again as the Faculty of Law, Economy, and Political Science at Gadjah Mada University on 11 July 1955.[1]

On 15 September 1955, the government instructed the division of FHESP UNGM into three faculties: the Faculty of Law, the Faculty of Economics, and the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences.[1] This marked the establishment of the independent Faculty of Law, Gadjah Mada University (FH UGM).[1]
