Summary/Abstract: The present research aims to reveal how the expansion of spaces for teaching within the Faculty of Law at the University of Iaşi took place. The author focuses on the issues related to the infrastructure of the Faculty of Law, one of the founding faculties of the modern University of Iaşi. After the inauguration of the new University Palace in Copou, the above mentioned faculty faced the lack of space, especially since this domain of specialization knew a higher interest. The issue became more acute after World War II, when the number of students increased greatly, especially since the Kingdom of Romania was added Basarabia, a province which had been under Russian domination. On this occasion many young students on the left side of the Prut River came to Iaşi, as they were mainly interested in building a carrier related to liberal professions. The numerous bureaucratic issues came to an end when a new building was founded, namely the ”Palace” of the Faculty of Law, on June 10th, 1933. The present approach aims to depict how a proper teaching space was created for the Faculty of Law of the University of Iaşi, in the extension of the University Palace in Copou.
