Résumé

The medieval legal system of the territory corresponding to modern Uzbekistan developed as a complex and adaptive structure shaped by Islamic jurisprudence, customary legal norms, and state administrative practices. From the ninth to the fifteenth centuries, successive political entities—including the Samanids, Karakhanids, Khwarazmshahs, and the Timurid Empire—established legal institutions that regulated social relations, economic activity, and governance. This article examines the historical background, sources of law, judicial institutions, and substantive legal fields of the medieval legal system in Uzbekistan. Particular attention is given to the interaction between Sharia, customary law, and state authority, as well as to the role of legal scholars and courts in maintaining legal continuity. The study argues that legal pluralism constituted a defining feature of medieval Central Asian governance and ensured both stability and adaptability in a socially diverse environment.
