The Faculty of Law University of Indonesia was founded in Batavia in 1909 as the Rechtsschool (Law School), a college of law established as a realization of a request from the Regent of Serang, Achmad Djajadiningrat, for the purposes of training legal staff for the district court. [2] The name Rechtsschool was later changed to Rechtshoogeschool te Batavia (Law School at Batavia, abbreviated as RHS) by Governor-General Dirk Fock on 28 October 1924, with a purpose to develop the lower civil administration personnel. [1] [2]

During the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies, this law school was closed. It was reestablished in Jakarta by the NICA on 21 June 1946 as a temporary university with the name Nood Universiteit (Emergency University). [1] In 1947, the name Rechtshoogeschool te Batavia was changed to the Universiteit van Indonesië te Djakarta (University of Indonesia at Jakarta). [1]

After the Indonesian National Revolution ended with transfer of sovereignty over the Dutch East Indies to Indonesia in 1949, the Universiteit van Indonesië te Djokjakarta moved from Yogyakarta to Jakarta and the two merged as the UniversiteitIndonesia in 1950. [1]
