In what is being seen as a major boost for Saudi women seeking legal
advice and help, Bayan Mahmoud Al-Zahran, the first Saudi woman lawyer
who was issued license to practice law in the Kingdom, launched the
first female law firm for the benefit of Saudi women on Wednesday.
Bayan
Al-Zahran became the first Saudi woman lawyer when she appeared at the
General Court in Jeddah for the first time in November last year to
defend a client. She had been working for years as a legal consultant
and had represented dozens of people in criminal and civil cases besides
family disputes.
Al-Zahran told Arab News that the objective of her
law firm is to fight for the rights of Saudi women and bring their
problems before the court, since male lawyers in many cases couldn’t
understand the problems and situations of a female plaintiff.
She said that she was planning to take up labor cases and business disputes but would also dedicate her time to women’s cases. SEE NEXT POST the busy are very busy in being busy as busy can in censoring important real true news ...
