3 FGV DIREITO RIO 3 1. Welcome to FGV DIREITO RIO Created in 2002, FGV DIREITO RIO was an answer to the market demands for professionals capable of thinking law in practice, seeking legal solutions for everyday problems of Brazilian society. Since then, the school has divided its activities between teaching and research. It is always based on four major focuses: legislative actions, social commitment, internationalization, and innovation. The school develops groundbreaking law projects, contributing to the reform of Brazil s judiciary; and, in the field of new technologies and law, it contributes with free software projects and innovation in the area of intellectual property, through important partnerships with Brazil s Ministry of Justice, Harvard University and Stanford University, among others. 2.
