The Encyclopaedia is the first specialised interdisciplinary publication on the history of the legal science of Kazakhstan. It includes entries on legal scholars who have worked in the period from the beginning of the 20th century until the beginning of the 21st century (from the founders of the legal science of the Republic to the young legal scholars who are active now). The book consists of three parts.

The book contain brief biographical information about the scholars, descriptions of their main research areas and their contribution to science, as well as a bibliography of their main publications.

The book can be useful for researchers, teachers, undergraduate and graduate students of law faculties and universities; scholarly libraries; scientific, expert and analytical organisations; civil servants engaged in law-making; law firms; political scientists; historians; and all those interested in the history and trends of the development of the legal science.

The work was carried out at the KAZGUU University Institute of Legal Policy and Constitutional Law as part of the fundamental research project “Issues of history of legal science and the creation of an encyclopaedic bio-bibliographical reference book ‘Prominent legal scholars of Kazakhstan of the XX and early XXI centuries’ ” financed by the grant of the Science Committee of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan (No. 1887 / GF 4 for 2015-2017).
