During the ceremony, Akbar Tashkulov, the Minister of Justice opined that technology is taking over the legal sphere today and the university must adapt to this reality.

Amir Timur Square: A Historical Nexus

Amir Timur Square is encircled by some of Tashkent’s most iconic landmarks, including the grand “Uzbekistan” Hotel, the historic Tashkent State University of Law (formerly the Women’s Gymnasium), the Amir Timur Museum, the famous Tashkent Chimes, and the majestic Forums Palace – one of the most remarkable architectural feats in the city. Each building around the square holds significant historical value, creating a rich tapestry of Uzbekistan’s cultural heritage.

One of the key buildings is the Tashkent State University of Law, which stands opposite Amir Timur Square and serves as a monumental symbol of the 19th century. Originally constructed under the order of the Turkestan governor-general Kaufman, it housed a women's gymnasium for many years. During the Soviet era, this building became part of the Tashkent State University, with the History Faculty occupying the left wing and the Faculty of Law in the right wing. After Uzbekistan’s independence, the entire building was dedicated to the Tashkent State University of Law.

To the right of the university is the Amir Timur Museum, established to mark the 660th anniversary of Amir Timur. This museum houses artifacts from the Timurid era, offering a vivid glimpse into that period through intricate miniatures and historical displays. The central hall on the ground floor features a stunning copy of the Ottoman Koran, while the walls, meticulously painted by Uzbekistan’s finest artists, illustrate significant scenes from Timur’s life.

The University’s Architectural Heritage

Tashkent State University of Law is housed in a building rich with historical significance, designed by architect Yanchevsky and constructed in 1875. Originally built as a Gymnasium for men and women in the years 1876-1879, it was a two-story structure. In the 1920s, the building was repurposed for the Central Asian University, and during the 1930s, a third floor was added. It later became home to the Tashkent Automobile and Road Institute.

From 1955 to 1991, this site housed the Faculty of Law under the Central Asian State University, and from 1991 to 2013, it became the Tashkent State Institute of Law. Since 2013, it has been fully devoted to the Tashkent State University of Law. Additionally, the District House of Officers (ODO) of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Uzbekistan was also incorporated into the university’s complex, further enhancing its prestigious status.
