Shihihutug University in Ulaanbaatar recently hosted a major academic event to celebrate two key legal book launches. These publications strongly highlight Mongolia’s legal heritage and strengthen the country’s academic landscape.
The first book, The State and Legal Traditions of Mongolia: A Historical Overview, offers readers a broad look at Mongolia’s legal development. Notably, Consulting Professor J. Boldbaatar and Professor D. Lundeejantsan co-authored the book with extensive historical insight.
Moreover, translator and diplomat Ch. Burenbayar brought the book to international readers by translating it into English. Melrose Legal Publishers, based in The Hague, published this edition. Consequently, the book bridges Mongolian scholarship with global academic circles.
The content spans early tribal codes, socialist laws, and modern constitutional changes. As a result, it presents a full timeline of legal evolution that reflects Mongolia’s legal heritage.
In addition to this release, the university also launched the third edition of Constitutional Law of Mongolia. Professors D. Lundeejantsan and Ch. Enkhbaatar collaborated to revise and expand this essential textbook.
Originally published decades ago, the textbook has served countless students and legal professionals. It received the Best Work award from the Mongolian Foundation for Science and Technology. Later, it also earned the internationally respected Kiriyama Prize.
The third edition updates recent constitutional interpretations and legal reforms. Therefore, it remains relevant and useful in today’s classrooms and research institutions.
Furthermore, the textbook promotes deeper understanding of constitutional values. It helps students think critically and apply legal principles in practical ways.
Together, these books deliver vital insight into Mongolia’s legal heritage. Both reflect years of scholarship, research, and dedication from leading legal minds in Mongolia.
Importantly, they also support legal education and intellectual growth for future generations. On the other hand, they also invite international readers to engage with Mongolian law.
Shihihutug University continues to play a central role in preserving and sharing this legal legacy. Through events like this, the university ensures that Mongolia’s legal heritage continues to inspire and evolve—both at home and globally.
