abstract
The Faculty of law of Masaryk University is one of the prestigious educational institutions teaching law in the Czech Republic. The Faculty of law was one of the first four faculties of the Masaryk University which were established in 1919. Classes started in the academic year 1919/1920. There were many prominent professors teaching at the faculty, e.g. Bohumil Baxa, Jaroslav Kallab, Karel Engliš, who became the first rector of the University, or František Weyr, who was the first dean of the Faculty of Law. In the interwar period, five professors of the Faculty of law became the rectors of Masaryk University. The courses and seminars were first held at alternative premises close to the center of Brno. The contemporary building started to be used 1932. The building was supposed to be a part of a large academic complex having its own square. Nevertheless, this idea was abandoned in 1930s when the economic recession struck. The courses held at the Masaryk University, i.e. also at the Faculty of law, stopped in 1939, as a result of occupation by Germany. Part of the students and teachers participated resistance and some of them even died in the resistance. The building of the faculty was used by Gestapo during the war; there were also cells and interrogation rooms.
