FGV law schools obtain “Brazilian Bar Association Recommends” certification for 5th consecutive time
The two schools have successfully participated in this certification scheme in every edition since it began in 2010
Fundação Getulio Vargas’ Sao Paulo Law School and Rio de Janeiro Law School have received “Brazilian Bar Association Recommends” certification for the fifth consecutive time. This certification is awarded to law schools that stand out for the proficiency of their students.
The certification was formally presented during an event called “Strengthening the Brazilian legal profession through excellent legal education,” held in Brasilia. The FGV Sao Paulo Law School was represented by Professor Rubens Glezer, and the FGV Rio de Janeiro Law School was represented by Professor André Mendes.
Certification
This certification was created to recognize institutions that provide a high-quality education, in light of the proliferation of law courses in Brazil, of which there are now 1,896, offering 361,848 places every year. When deciding which institutions to grant its certification to, the Brazilian Bar Association gives a 20% weighting to the results of the National Student Performance Exam (ENADE) and an 80% weighting to the results of recent Brazilian Bar Association exams.
