Riyadh, SPA:
The Saudi Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has issued 2,317 and renewed 1,082 law practice licenses in the past 12 months.
“For quality judicial output, the ministry’s efforts focus on professional training,” said Saudi Justice Minister Walid al-Samaani in a recent meeting with lawyers. The minister added: “Lawyers are an essential part of the justice system, providing a professional dimension for achieving judicial goals and safeguards.”
The MoJ has enabled users of the Najiz portal to inquire about licensed lawyers through a list of lawyers classified by name and city, and to inquire about status of filed applications. The e-services also include applying for a law practice license, renewal of license, and registering and transferring trainee lawyers.
