The Facultad de Derecho is the Law School of the National University of Rosario (Argentina), and is located in the former Palace of Justice Building, a Rosario landmark and a National Historic Monument.
On June 27, 1959, an institution for the teaching of law was created in Rosario, as a result of the demands made by the law students from Rosario who had to travel daily to Santa Fe, located 170 km to the north, in order to attend classes.
This institution was part of the National University of the Littoral, which is based in the city of Santa Fe.
The Universidad Nacional de Rosario (UNR) was created by law N° 17.987, passed on November 29, 1968, and began operating on December 16 of the same year.
Shortly after, on March 15, 1969, the National Government passed decree N° 1528, creating the School of Law and Political Sciences of Rosario and incorporating it into the Universidad Nacional de Rosario (UNR) instead of Santa Fe's Universidad Nacional del Litoral.
