Faculty of Law at Saratov State University named after N.G.Chernyshevski

The fate of the faculty of law as a department of Saratov University has not been easy since its very appearance.

In 1920 a historical department joined the faculty of law and the latter was renamed to the legal faculty and, after a while, to the faculty of social sciences.
