History

USLU's dormitory building

The Siberian Institute of Soviet Law (Russian: Сибирский институт советского права) was founded on 20 April 20, 1931 in Irkutsk by the decision of the Government of the Soviet Union based on the Faculty of Law of Irkutsk State University. On 1 August 1934 the resolution of the Government of the Soviet Union transferred the Siberian Institute of Soviet Law from Irkutsk to Sverdlovsk. In 1935, the Siberian Institute of Soviet Law was renamed to Sverdlovsk Law Institute (Russian: Свердловский юридический институт). The institute carried the name of Procurator General of the USSR Andrey Vyshinsky from 1954 to 1962 and after Prosecutor General of the USSR Roman Rudenko from 1981 to 1992. On 24 December 1992 Sverdlovsk Law Institute was renamed to Ural State Law Academy. The academy was renamed to Ural State Law University by decree of Russian Ministry of Education and Science on April 22, 2014.[5] On 9 February 2022 the university was named after the first President of the Supreme Court of Arbitration of Russia Veniamin Yakovlev.
