The article examines the development of the judicial and legal system of Kazakhstan in the first decade of Soviet power on the basis of a wide range of documentary sources. It is emphasized that in the Steppe region the implementation of national reforms of the judicial and legal system had its own peculiarities. The difficulties consisted in the fact that in the region there were no professional personnel in the field of justice, and the high social role of the Biys court also remained. However, beginning in 1918, the Soviet government systematically changed the configuration of the judicial system of Kazakhstan, extending state institutions and legal norms to the Soviet republic. The final stage of the reorganization of the region's judicial power falls on 1920–1925, when the final registration of the judicial and legal system took place on the principles of Soviet justice.
