1,000 Saudi judges study civil law

More than 1,000 Saudi Arabia judges have enrolled in the Judicial Training Center’s higher diploma in civil law.

The program includes 21 courses of 380 training hours taught by specialists in civil law, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

Saudi Arabia’s Justice Minister Walid Al-Samaani launched the program last October to help keep pace with legislative advancements in the Kingdom.

The initiative would safeguard rights, reinforce the principles of justice and transparency, and enhance the predictability of judicial rulings, the SPA reported.

The program includes in-depth theoretical and practical studies of obligations and contracts regarding civil cases.
