MAIN STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT OF INDEPENDENT ADVOCACY IN THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN AND THE REPUBLIC OF UZBEKISTAN

Abstract

In this article, the author considers the main stages of the evolutionary development of the institution of advocacy in the territories of modern Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan from the historical and legal positions. In particular, the stages of evolutionary development of the institution of advocacy are subdivided into four stages by the author, each of which is covered in detail in the context of the organizational and functional support of advocacy, the foundations of their legal status, and independence. During the preparation of the scientific work, some historical legal sources were comprehensively studied, including “Jet jargi”, “Judicial regulations”, etc. The author noted that each stage of development of the institution of advocacy in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan has its own similar and distinctive features. Thus, the archaic period - the period of the development of the proto-advocacy, was, in general, of common nature for both studied countries, since it was characterized by the absence of institutional advocacy, the development of self-protective legal mechanisms, as well as the operation of common sources of law - odat (urf) and sharia. It is also noted that in general, despite the preservation of relative independence during the colonial period, on the territory of the Uzbek khanates, the sources and institutions of the Russian Empire were gradually introduced, which acted on the territory of modern Kazakhstan a little earlier. At the same time, the Soviet period of development of the legal profession was, in fact, the same for all the republics that were members of the Union, and only during the period of independence did the development of the legal profession in the studied countries take an independent path. The author presents the results of the study as theoretical conclusions.
