During the Soviet period, two significant scientific teams were formed in the republic – at the Faculty of Law of the Kazakh State University and at the Institute of Philosophy and Law of the Academy of Sciences of the Kazakh SSR. Many scientific problems were solved by these collectives by common forces. It should be noted that in 1991 on the basis of the Institute of Philosophy and Law, the Institute of State and Law of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Kazakhstan was established.
With the acquisition of independence by Kazakhstan, a number of leading civil scientists began to work at the Kazakh State Law University and the Research Center for Private Law created under it. In the future, the Academy of Law – the Higher School of Law “Adilet”, in 2007 became part of the Caspian Public University. The Research Institute of Private Law began to work as part of the Higher School of Economics “Adilet”.
