The Yaroslav Mudryi National Law University (Ukrainian: Національний юридичний університет імені Ярослава Мудрого» (НЮУ), Natsional'nyi yurydychnyi universytet imeni Yaroslava Mudroho) is a self-governing (autonomous) state higher law educational establishment of the IV level of accreditation, a national university, located in Kharkiv, Ukraine, named after Yaroslav the Wise.
The history of the academy began in the 19th century by the order of Alexander I with the establishment of the Kharkiv Empire University on 5 (17) November 1804 and the ethics and political department as its part. In 1835 it was officially renamed as the Law Department of the Kharkiv Empire University. At different times famous lawyers worked here, such as professors M.M. Alekseenko, L.E. Vladimirov, M.A. Hredeskul, V.P. Danevskyi, I.I. Ditiatin, L.N. Zahurskyi, D.I. Kachenovskyi, O.V. Kunitsin, M.O. Kuplevaskyi, O.I. Paliumbetskyi, A.M. Stoianov, M.O. Taube, I.F. Timkovskyi, M.P. Chubinskyi and others.
In 1920 by the decision of the Government of Ukraine the Institute of National Economy was established on the basis of the Law department of the Kharkiv Empire University. It was the basis of the Law Institute which trained lawyers for state and economic bodies. The first lecturers of the law faculty – the founders of the Institute – were famous law professors: V.M. Hordon, V.M. Koretskyi, O.D. Kisilev, V.F. Levitskyi, M.O. Maksimeyko, M.I. Palienko, V.I. Slivitskyi, V.S. Trakhterov and others who worked at the Kharkiv University before. They were holding scientific and teaching positions for many years and made a great contribution into formation and development of law science, lawyers’ education and training. In 1930 The Institute of National Economy, taking into consideration its status of an institute of higher legal education, received a new name: the Institute of Soviet Construction and Law. On May 1933 the Institute was renamed into the Ukrainian Communist Institute of Soviet Construction and Law.
