In 2021 the Law Faculty of the public University in Sibiu is celebrating 50 years of continuous activity starting with 1971. Actually, this institution is one of the oldest juridical teaching institutions in Romania, but not having in mind 1971, but the first institution which was inaugurated in 1844 and closed in 1887. This is why the 2021 moment of the Legal School in Sibiu is a moment of reflection and in the same time of revealing the whole history of this school which marked the legal history of Transylvania and the Romanian national history in the same time. In this study there are some of the starting information about how the Imperial legal faculty in Sibiu / Hermannstadt was opened and how it functioned under legal and administrative aspects. The information is taken from the archives in Sibiu and Vienna and from the few articles which were written in foreign languages about this institution.
The 2021 moment in the history of Sibiu law school brings with it the obligation of a reflection to situate this event, beyond a simple anniversary stop (counted now beginning with 1971, from the moment of its re-establishment) on the time scale and on the broader coordinates of the place and historical moments in the destiny of the Romanian nation, as well as Transylvanian public law and administration, whose specific dimensions and evolutions have shaped and reflected at the same time.
