Sharjah 24: For the third consecutive day, the Sharjah Institute of Judicial Sciences is continuing its judicial induction programme for judges seconded to work in the Emirate’s courts, as part of a plan to familiarise them with the judicial environment, systems and procedures in place in Sharjah’s courts.

Dr Mansour bin Nassar, Vice Chairman of the Judicial Council and Chairman of the Legal Department of Sharjah, emphasised the importance of adequately preparing seconded judges for their duties in Sharjah's courts from day one, highlighting the significance of providing a suitable judicial and professional environment that enables judges to perform their duties efficiently and independently, issue rulings that meet litigants’ expectations and contribute to delivering swift justice.

Induction programme draws senior judiciary figures

The programme, organised by the Sharjah Institute of Judicial Sciences, brought together several senior figures from the Emirate's legal establishment. Among those present were Dr Mohammed Obaid Al Kaabi, Chairman of the Sharjah Judicial Department; Sheikh Faisal bin Ali Al Mualla, Secretary General of the Judicial Council; and Dr Mohammed Al Dhanhani, Chief Justice of Al Dhaid Court and Director of the Institutional Development Department, alongside several other department directors.

Familiarity with local systems

For his part, Dr Mohammed Obaid Al Kaabi underlined the importance of seconded judges becoming familiar with the systems and procedures adopted across the Emirate, saying such knowledge would strengthen their readiness to carry out their judicial responsibilities competently. He welcomed the incoming judges to Sharjah's courts.

A full picture of Sharjah's judicial system

The induction programme is designed to give seconded judges a complete picture of how judicial and administrative work functions in Sharjah, introducing them to the Emirate's approved electronic systems, software and working procedures. The aim, organisers say, is to raise the overall quality and efficiency of judicial performance and support the timely delivery of justice.

The programme runs across a series of sessions and briefings intended to help judges settle into Sharjah's judicial working environment, equipping them to begin their duties in line with approved regulations, procedures and best judicial practice.
