xactly 92 years ago, the edition of article 17 of Decree nº 19,408, signed by the then head of the Provisional Government, Getulio Vargas, established the Brazilian Bar Association (OAB) and inaugurated a new era for Brazilian law. During its history, the house was presided over by stalwarts of Brazilian law and consolidated itself as a fundamental stone in the consolidation of democracy, human rights, individual and collective rights in our country.

We achieved historic victories.
