Saudi justice minister issues 2,317 law practice licenses
Saudi Arabia: Saudi Arabia’s
Minister of Justice Walid Al-Samaani has issued 2,317 and renewed 1,082 law
practice licenses in the past 12 months.
The ministry has said that it is focusing its
efforts on vocational training as an essential part of the justice system,
providing professional advice to safeguard people’s interests.
Inquiries about licensed lawyers can be made
through a list of lawyers classified by name and city, as well as queries about
the status of filed applications and other services, the ministry said.
Services for lawyers offered through the Najiz
portal include applying for a law practice license and renewal of licenses.
A trainee lawyers’ service allows applicants to
register and receive a “trainee lawyer identification certificate”
electronically.
The portal also has a transfer service for lawyers
and can issue new electronic “trainee lawyer identification certificates.”
