Tashkent State University of Law

Tashkent State University of Law is recognized as one of the national centers of legal science and legal education in Uzbekistan and is a leading higher education institution. The university trains qualified specialists for the legal field, producing prosecutors, judges and lawyers, and its reputation extends well beyond the country.

History

The history of the university dates back to April 21, 1918, when a law department was established at the Turkestan People’s University on the basis of its socio-economic faculty. This was the first step in creating a school of law in Central Asia, in particular in Uzbekistan. On August 15, 1991, the Tashkent State Law Institute was founded on the basis of the law faculty of Tashkent State University. By Decree PQ-1990 of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated June 28, 2013, the institute was transformed into Tashkent State University of Law. Over the years, well-known lawyers such as B.Manelis, M.Lutskiy, S.Avrukh, K.Sarimsoqov, X.Qurbonov, N.Kapustyanskiy, T.Eshonbekov, D.Arrenbek, and academicians S.Radjabov and X.Sulaymonova worked at the university.
