Attorney Mukhriddin Shamsiddinov, representing the applicants, explained the core issue. "The law exam included questions about sanctions, such as penalties and prison terms. When I was a university student, our professors strictly forbade memorizing sanctions because it was considered impractical to remember all of them, and they were rarely needed in practice," he stated. Shamsiddinov added that he has begun working on the case as the legal representative of the applicants.
Previously, applicants taking the law exam had complained about the inclusion of questions from laws and codes that were not part of the recommended study materials provided by the Agency for Knowledge and Skills Assessment.
In response to the complaints, the Agency stated that it had already published a list of recommended textbooks and study materials on its website, claiming there were no deviations from the current state educational standards or curriculum. However, prominent legal expert Khushnudbek Khudoyberdiev criticized the Agency's defense, calling it "nonsense and lies."
The court case is expected to delve into whether the Agency adhered to the national educational standards in its preparation of the exam.
