Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative technological force reshaping legal institutions, judicial administration, legal research, adjudication support systems, and regulatory governance. Courts across jurisdictions increasingly employ AI-enabled tools to enhance efficiency, reduce case backlogs, improve legal analytics, and facilitate access to justice. However, the integration of AI into legal processes has generated complex concerns relating to transparency, accountability, privacy, algorithmic bias, judicial independence, evidentiary reliability, and constitutional protections. This research and review article critically examines the evolving legal and constitutional frameworks governing AI regulation within the legal sector, with particular emphasis on judicial systems and legal decision-making. Drawing exclusively upon the provided references, the study synthesizes contemporary developments, analyzes emerging jurisprudential challenges, and evaluates regulatory responses adopted by courts and policymakers. The paper identifies significant tensions between technological innovation and foundational legal principles such as due process, fairness, natural justice, and constitutional rights. Findings reveal that while AI possesses substantial potential to improve legal administration, inadequate regulatory safeguards may compromise judicial legitimacy and public trust. The study concludes that a balanced regulatory architecture emphasizing human oversight, algorithmic transparency, ethical accountability, and constitutional compliance is essential for responsible AI deployment within legal systems

This article examines the experience of developed countries - the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and Japan - in regulating employment contracts of academic staff in higher education institutions through a comparative legal analysis. The study covers reforms implemented in 2024-2026, including the adoption of the Employment Rights Act 2025 in the United Kingdom, the 2024 amendment of the Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz (WissZeitVG) in Germany, the intensification of political threats to the tenure system in the United States, and the consolidation of the 10-year permanent contract conversion mechanism in Japan. Franceʼs stable civil servant model is also assessed comparatively. The existing legal framework in Uzbekistan is critically evaluated and, based on the comparative analysis, six scientifically grounded recommendations are developed to improve the labor-legal status of higher education teaching staff. The findings substantiate the necessity of introducing an "academic employment contract" institution as a distinct legal category in Uzbekistan.

This article examines Uzbekistan's ongoing accession process to the World Trade Organization (WTO) and its implications for trade liberalization and the protection of national interests. As Uzbekistan deepens its integration into the global economy under President Shavkat Mirziyoyev's reform agenda, WTO membership has emerged as a central pillar of the country's foreign economic policy. The article analyzes the historical trajectory of Uzbekistan's WTO negotiations, identifies the key sectors affected by trade liberalization commitments, and assesses the legislative, regulatory, and institutional reforms required for compliance with WTO norms. Drawing on international trade law, comparative experience of post-Soviet WTO members, and Uzbek domestic legal frameworks, the article argues that successful WTO accession demands a carefully calibrated balance between market openness and the preservation of strategic national interests. Special attention is given to agriculture, intellectual property, services, and customs regulation as priority areas. The article concludes with policy recommendations for ensuring that Uzbekistan's integration into the multilateral trading system yields sustainable economic and legal benefits.

This article examines the theoretical, legal, and practical aspects of preventing corruption and conflicts of interest within the public civil service system. Particular attention is paid to the adverse impact of corruption on the effectiveness of public administration, the openness and transparency of state bodies, as well as public trust in state institutions. The essence and types of conflicts of interest, along with their significance as factors generating corruption risks, are analyzed based on the approaches developed by international organizations and scholars. Furthermore, the article discusses existing mechanisms for assessing the quality of public services and identifies challenges associated with their improvement. The author proposes a number of organizational and legal measures aimed at preventing corruption and conflicts of interest in the public civil service, including the introduction of an asset and interest declaration system, the adoption of a unified methodology for corruption risk assessment, and the development of ethics and integrity indices and digital monitoring mechanisms.
