History
[edit]Ankara University, Law School was established as part of Turkey's legal reforms, spearheaded by Mahmut Esat Bozkurt. The school was inaugurated by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Turkish Republic, on November 5, 1925.[1] It was the first university-level higher education institution of the newly founded Republic, and its first cohort of students graduated in 1928.
