A professional development course organised at the Law Enforcement Academy of the Republic of Uzbekistan for assistant district (city) prosecutors and prosecutors of equivalent rank, as well as staff members of regional prosecutor’s offices, has been completed.

The training sessions were delivered by practising prosecutors from the relevant departments of the Prosecutor General’s Office and the Academy’s academic staff.

The sessions covered the collection and assessment of evidence in court, substantiation of the amount of damage caused to the state, effective use of prosecutors’ procedural powers, justification of claims, and presentation of evidence-based arguments during court proceedings. The participants also examined the organisation of prosecutorial supervision over the enforcement of court decisions on the recovery of damages, as well as theoretical and practical aspects of the legal assessment of court decisions by higher judicial instances.

During simulated court proceedings, participants strengthened their practical skills in presenting and examining evidence, substantiating procedural positions, and delivering oral arguments in court.

At the end of the course, a commission assessed the participants’ level of proficiency, knowledge and skills, as well as the laboratory assignments they had completed.
