The Ministry of Justice (MoJ), through the Center for Legal and Judicial Studies (CLJS), held a legal seminar yesterday. The seminar focused on the challenges and future prospects of Qatar’s civil code as it enters its second decade.
The event brought together legal professionals, academics, and policy experts. They discussed the evolving demands on Qatar’s legal framework, particularly in light of rapid technological and social changes.
Speaking at the seminar, Minister of Justice and Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs Ibrahim bin Ali Al Mohannadi emphasized that the forum is aligned with the strategic vision of Qatar’s leadership. Their aim is to modernize the legal system and strengthen institutional capacities.
Al Mohannadi highlighted Law No. 22 of 2004 as a foundational element of Qatar’s civil legislation. He noted that since its enactment, the country has witnessed significant transformation, warranting a comprehensive review to maintain its relevance.
“The Ministry is consistently working to enhance the justice system’s legislative elements as part of a broader national initiative,” he said. “Our goal is to reinforce justice and the rule of law. We aim to streamline civil transactions and create a legislative environment that supports investment.”
The minister added that legislative development is essential for ensuring the legal system remains aligned with current and future demands.
Director of the Center for Legal and Judicial Studies, Dr. Abdullah Hamad Al Khaldi, also addressed the gathering. He underscored the seminar’s role in stimulating dialogue around legal reform and modernization.
