OCA MAGAZINE EDUCATION

2023

versity of Law of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Uzbekistan is the one of the best international law schools in Central Asia, to put it mildly, representing the entire former Soviet bloc, and it is not possible to say that the attitude of students at such a world-class law school reflects the social situation or teaching environment in Central Asia as a whole, and it should be noted that this cannot simply be said.

In any case, the aspect of Tashkent that I felt during my international speech at the international symposium held at the Intercontinental Hotel in Tashkent, the greatest city in Central Asia, was very definite. Reflecting this aspect of Tashkent, the faces of the world’s leading professionals from all over the world were also cheerful. The faces of my fellows and friends, who are professors of Tashkent State University of Law, were also cheerful. Moreover, the members of the management of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Uzbekistan or the Tashkent State University of Law are rapidly rejuvenating themselves and, of course, there is still a need for exploration at the philosophical level, but the awareness of being at the forefront of the global trend

All in all, the international symposium “Tashkent Law Spring” 2023 was excellent, I think. Although the speeches by law firms and international organisations were general and could be improved from an academic point of view, the quality of the speeches at the symposium was still generally at a high level, as were the speeches in the teaching section, “LEGAL PERSONNEL FOR MODERN LAW” Sectional session on “New vision and perspectives of legal education for the digital generation “LEGAL PERSONNEL FOR MODERN LAW”, where students of Tashkent State University of Law actively asked questions and the response from the moderator was also excellent. In view of these facts, it can be said that students are becoming more active in the sessions at the international level in the education, and the city of Tashkent itself has been becoming a world-class city, including international investment. However, considering that Tashkent was undeniably a prestigious city during the Soviet era, the framing of such matters might be limited to the perspective of the transition to a market economy in post-Soviet socialist countries. It might be more appropriate to say that Tashkent was “originally a world-class city.” There is no doubt, anyway, that cities are developing internationally in a way that fulfils the trends of the above.
