Students of the Higher School of Law at Astana International University attended an open
court hearing within the framework of the principle “Law and Order: Legal Grounds and
Liability for Stalking.”
During the visit, students had the opportunity to observe in practice the judicial
examination of a criminal case under Article 115-1 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of
Kazakhstan, which establishes liability for stalking. The hearing enabled students to understand
the mechanism of administering justice, the roles of the judge, prosecutor, and defense counsel,
as well as the specifics of examining evidence in cases of this category.
Attending an open court session became an important element of professional training for
future lawyers. This format of practical learning contributes to the development of legal thinking,
analytical skills, and a deeper understanding of the principles of the rule of law and inevitability
of punishment.
Participation in a real court process enhances students’ legal awareness, fosters zero
tolerance for offenses, and strengthens their sense of social responsibility. Understanding the
legal consequences of unlawful behavior serves as an effective preventive measure against
offenses among young people.
The Higher School of Law continues to systematically integrate theoretical knowledge
with practical experience, ensuring the preparation of competent, responsible, and highly
qualified legal professionals.
