Founder of The Modern Uzbek School of Jurisprudence

Abstract

Muhammadjon Muminov – one of the first Uzbek legal scholars, a knowledgeable scientist, and active public figure. He served as the director of the Soviet Construction and Law Research Institute. Under Muminov’s leadership, the institute launched its periodical journal, Soviet Construction and Law. Thanks to his enthusiasm and efforts, numerous legal dictionaries and teKhtbooks were published within a short period. Departments for training highly kualified jurists and postgraduate research programs were also established. At the end of 1932, Muminov published his book On the Theory of State and Law in Russian, which created significant public discussion. This work later became one of the reasons for his political repression.
