After his preparatory studies, he went to Recife to study at law. In 1868, he transferred to the Faculty of Law of São Paulo. He became a partner, together with Castro Alves, of the Ateneu Paulistano, then under the presidency of Joaquim Nabuco. Before the end of his second year of the course, he was already a well-known journalist. After graduation (1870) he moved to Rio de Janeiro, where he began his career on the platform and in the press, embracing as his initial cause the abolition of slavery. Provincial deputy, and later general, he advocated, together with Joaquim Nabuco, the defense of the federative system. Invited to become Cabinet Minister Afonso Celso, shortly before the proclamation of the Republic, Rui Barbosa refused the position because it was, at the time, incompatible with his federative ideas. Once the Republic was proclaimed, Rui became the Minister of Finance of the Provisional Government. Elected senator from Bahia, his councils prevailed in the main reforms and his culture shaped the fundamental lines of the February 24, 1891 Charter. of Floriano. As editor-in-chief of Jornal do Brasil, he launched a campaign against the Florianist situation. In 1893 he was forced into exile. He headed, first, to Buenos Aires, then to Lisbon, where some incidents led him to choose London. He then wrote the famous Letters from England to the Jornal do Comércio. He raised his voice against the Dreyfus Process.

In 1895 Rui Barbosa returned from exile, returning to work as a senator until his death, successively reelected, highlighting his work in drafting the Brazilian Civil Code. In 1905, Bahia raised its candidacy for the presidency of the Republic, but Rui gave it up to decide in favor of Afonso Pena.

The Peace Conference, in The Hague, Rui Barbosa headed the Brazilian delegation, with the help with all kinds of information from Joaquim Nabuco; making Rui Barbosa the first diĺomata in Latin America. His role in The Hague was of great importance as he fought, above all, for the principle of legal equality of sovereign nations, facing irreducible prejudices from the so-called great powers. In addition to being named Honorary President of the First Commission, he was named among the “Seven Sages of The Hague”.
