This article examines the formation and development of civil law science in Kazakhstan during the Soviet era and in the years following the republic's independence. It highlights the significant role played by Yuri Grigorievich Basin – an Honored Scientist of Kazakhstan, Doctor of Law, and Professor – in creating the Kazakh school of civil law. These legal questions remain underexplored in Kazakhstan, giving the article its scientific novelty. During the Soviet period, two major academic collectives formed in the republic – at the Faculty of Law of Kazakh State University and at the Institute of Philosophy and Law of the Academy of Sciences of the Kazakh SSR. Many academic challenges were tackled jointly by these teams. Notably, in 1991, the Institute of State and Law was established on With Kazakhstan's independence, a number of leading civil law scholars began working at the Kazakh State Law University and its newly established Research Center for Private Law. Later, the Academy of Jurisprudence – Higher School of Law “Adilet” – became part of Caspian Public University in 2007. Within Adilet, the Research Institute of Private Law began operations.
