GERMAN METHODOLOGY IN KAZAKHSTANI LEGAL EDUCATION

From 5 to 9 October 2026, Senior Lecturers of the Department of Constitutional and International Law, K.S. Amirbek and M.Y. Abdakimova, completed an advanced training course for law lecturers entitled “Legal Education in Germany: Methodology for Solving Legal Cases.”

The course was organized by Heinrich Heine University (Düsseldorf, Germany) in cooperation with the Scientific School of Administrative and German Law at Maqsut Narikbayev University (Astana, Kazakhstan), with financial support from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).

As part of the training, participants explored the German approach to legal education and discussed opportunities for applying its methods in Kazakhstan.

The training was conducted in a team-based format. Representatives of universities from Kazakhstan and other countries, along with undergraduate and master’s students, were divided into three teams to solve practical case studies based on the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan on administrative procedures and administrative proceedings. Participants completed all stages of legal case analysis using the German case-solving methodology.

The seminar served as a professional platform for exchanging experience, developing practical skills, and exploring opportunities to integrate German teaching methods into legal education in Kazakhstan.

Upon completion of the course, participants were awarded certificates of advanced professional training.
