От Демидовского юридического лицея к юридическому факультету Ярославского государственного университета им. П. Г. Демидова

The first higher educational institution in the Yaroslavl city (and the second in Russia) was the Yaroslavl Demidov Higher School of Sciences (1803-1833), established on the initiative and at the expense of Pavel G. Demidov, based on which the Demidov Lyceum (1834-1870) of the chamber profile was formed. However, the first specialized law higher educational institution in Yaroslavl was the Demidov Law Lyceum (1870-1918), which quickly became one of the leading law schools in Russia. Many of its professors became part of the elite of Russian educators and legal experts, and in terms of the number of students, the Yaroslavl university ranked third in the country after the law faculties of Moscow and St. Petersburg universities. In total, before 1917, the Lyceum trained more than 3,500 graduates. After its transformation into Yaroslavl State University in 1919, the training of law students continued until the university’s activities were suspended in 1924. In the re-established in 1970 Yaroslavl State University, which has borne the name of Pavel G. Demidov since 1995, there was initially a department of jurisprudence within the Faculty of Psychology, History and Law, then the Faculty of History and Law. Since 1987, the Faculty of Law has existed as an independent entity. During this period, the Yaroslavl law school has become one of the leading in the country, and the majority of the teaching staff are its alumni. For example, five professors are graduates of the YarSU Faculty of Law. These are Doctors of Sciences in Jurisprudence E. V. Blagov, A. V. Ivanchin, M. V. Lushnikova, A. M. Lushnikov, and Candidate of Sciences in Jurisprudence N. N. Tarusina.
