The judicial system of Kyrgyzstan comprise a number of courts in a hierarchy:

  • Supreme Court of Kyrgyzstan
  • Military Courts of Kyrgyzstan
  • Appeal courts of second instance at the oblast level
  • Local courts of first instance. 78 of these exist

    • In addition informal methods of dispute resolution judged by court elders (aksakals) exist outside of the formal legal hierarchy. The Constitutional Court was abolished with the adoption of the 2010 Constitution and its powers transferred to the Supreme Court.
