Abstract:
This article analyzes the scientific-theoretical and organizational-legal aspects of the relationship
between legal science, the system of education in legal disciplines, legal science, and law enforcement practice in
Uzbekistan.
Existing problems in legal education and law enforcement practice were analyzed, and proposals and
recommendations were made for their elimination.
Based on the experience of foreign countries, issues of legal education and law enforcement practice were
discussed, and mechanisms aimed at their implementation in our country were analyzed.
Keywords:
Legal science, law enforcement practice, legal education, law enforcement problems.
Introduction:
In today’s rapidly developing society,
education and science are indispensable. During
periods of economic, political, and environmental
crises, science serves as a crucial tool for addressing
significant challenges. Therefore, science must be
capable of analyzing various issues that arise in human
life and providing timely solutions.
Indeed, our President Shavkat Mirziyoyev emphasized
that, “If we aim to transform Uzbekistan into a
developed country, we can only achieve this through
rapid reforms, enlightenment, and innovation. For this
purpose, it is essential first and foremost to nurture a
new generation of proactive reformers
—
strategic
thinkers who are knowledgeable and skilled. This is why
we have begun reforming all levels of education, from
kindergarten through higher education.” This
statement highlights the fundamental role of education
and science in national development. [1].
In this context, alongside other sciences, the role of
legal science holds a special place. It is important to
remember the significant interconnection between
science and education in these processes. The view of
N.I. Matuzov on the influence of science on the
educational process and its quality is particularly
relevant:“Science is connected to the educational
process by thousands of small threads, nourishing it,
developing the most effective forms and methods of
teaching, as well as the principles of mastering
particular specialties. Through this, one can observe
the deep interrelation between science and education”
[2].
Legal science is responsible for the scientific analysis of
legal life, as well as the systematization and
improvement of legal norms, while the practice of law
enforcement involves the application of these
theoretical foundations in various real-life situations.
The harmony between these two fields is a
fundamental factor for the stable functioning of the
legal system.
In this regard, a unified approach means that all
institutions and specialists share a common
understanding and apply legal norms consistently. This
principle is crucial for ensuring the rule of law.
There are numerous noteworthy aspects in the
experiences of foreign countries regarding the
continuous interaction between science and law
enforcement practice. For instance, in the United
States, two-thirds of all fundamental research is
conducted at institutions of higher education.
Professors, instructors, and researchers at these

institutions are expected not only to conduct lectures
and scientific research but also to engage in practical
work in research laboratories aimed at developing
innovative ideas and advancements [3].
The
current
era
demands
a
fundamental
transformation of the legal education system. Key tasks
include integrating education with practical experience
and vice versa, applying modern teaching methods,
organizing classes in innovative formats, implementing
distance learning, adopting international standards for
retraining
and
professional
development,
strengthening independent learning, and producing
new, effective, practical-oriented legal literature.
To harmonize legal science with law enforcement
practice and to implement a unified law enforcement
practice among employees of state bodies and
organizations, the Institute for Retraining and
Advanced Training of Legal Personnel was established
on the basis of four retraining and advanced training
centers under the Ministry of Justice by the Decree No.
PF-80 of May 24, 2024, issued by the President of the
Republic of Uzbekistan, titled “On further increasing
the responsibility of justice bodies and institutions and
forming a streamlined management system within the
framework of administrative refor
ms” [4].
To ensure the implementation of this decree, on March
19, 2025, the Cabinet of Ministers adopted Resolution
No. 171, which established a modern system for the
continuous professional development of employees of
justice bodies and institutions, as well as specialists in
legal services, advocacy, notary, mediation, intellectual
property, forensic examination, archival work, records
management, and other fields. Furthermore, the
resolution tasked improving their training based on
international
experience
and
contemporary
educational standards [5].
The educational process organized at the institute is
based on an approach focused on knowledge and skills
for analyzing practical and legal disputes, with at least
40 to 50 percent of the time allocated to practical
training. This indicates the necessity for a direct
integration of legal science and law enforcement
practice.
However, it is important to recognize that there are
several pressing issues regarding the application of a
unified approach in legal science and law enforcement
practice in Uzbekistan.
Firstly
, there is the issue of varying interpretations of
the norms within adopted normative legal documents.
Specifically, judges, investigators, and practicing legal
professionals may interpret the same norm differently,
resulting in contradictory decisions or the formation of
ambiguous precedents.
Secondly
, the question arises as to whether legal
science or law enforcement practice should be primary.
Ideally, problems and shortcomings in each field should
first be analyzed from a scientific and theoretical
perspective.
Proposals
and
recommendations
developed on the basis of such scientific and
theoretical analyses should then be reflected in
legislation and applied in law enforcement practice,
which is deemed most appropriate.
Thirdly
, the complexity and contradictions within the
normative legal framework present a challenge: similar
situations are regulated differently across various
documents. This hampers the uniform application of
law. Therefore, evaluating the regulatory impact of
draft normative legal acts and adopted legal
documents is of critical importance.
Fourthly
, there is a lack of unified precedents in judicial
practice: discrepancies exist between court decisions
on similar cases. This undermines public trust in justice
and equality. In particular, the Law of the Republic of
Uzbekistan “On Administrative Procedures” establishes
13 principles. According to this law, administrative
documents and actions must comply with the principles
of administrative procedures. Non-compliance with
these principles leads to the annulment or
reconsideration of administrative documents and
actions. Courts, when resolving disputes arising from
this law, must primarily assess whether any of these 13
principles have been violated.
Fifthly
, there is a shortage of methodological
uniformity in legal education. The curricula of higher
education institutions offering legal education across
the republic vary significantly. Different interpretations
of legal sciences in universities may lead to diverse
approaches among future specialists and cause
misunderstandings in practice.
Another important issue is the training and
professional development of legal personnel closely
linked to practical experience, which is currently
considered
highly
relevant.
Establishing
a
comprehensive connection between legal science and
practice should be regarded as one of the key tasks
today. This is because teaching legal science and
broadly applying its theoretical principles in practice,
deepening judicial and legal reforms, and legislative
activities represent one of the most effective methods.
In our view, alongside the development of legal
science, achieving high standards in training legal
professionals is possible through its practical
application. The current evolving society, political and
economic modernization processes, as well as reforms
in the state and judicial-legal systems, necessitate the
harmonious integration of legal science and practice.

However, it should not be forgotten that these changes
can only be ensured and effectively implemented
through mutual cooperation between legal educational
institutions and the various stakeholders in this field.
Unfortunately, at present, the social demand for legal
education is primarily expressed only by educational
authorities or law enforcement agencies. In reality, it is
essential to establish close cooperation between legal
education and all entities requiring specialists in this
sector. In this context, it is advisable to develop
practical
collaboration
between
educational
institutions that train legal personnel and law
enforcement organizations.
The above analysis indicates that the interconnection
between legal science and the practice of law
enforcement necessitates the implementation of a
unified approach to the consistent and effective
application of law. This approach requires the uniform
interpretation of legal norms by all subjects, the
formation of a unified legal position within the
activities of courts and law enforcement agencies, and
plays a crucial role in ensuring legal certainty and
stability.
Ensuring a unified approach in the application of law is
not only a theoretical task but also a practical necessity.
Achieving this requires the creation of scientifically
grounded legislation, improving the quality of legal
education, conducting judicial practice in a consistent
manner, and utilizing scientific and theoretical
recommendations.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, adherence to a unified approach in law
enforcement not only guarantees justice but also
contributes to the development of legal awareness and
legal culture within society. Therefore, the systematic
implementation of this approach during legal reforms
is one of the essential conditions for establishing the
rule of law and a civil society.
