Saudi Board of Grievances concludes staff development program

Saudi Arabia’s Board of Grievances concluded the summer development program provided for a group of judges and employees at Case Western Reserve University in the US, as part of the cooperation agreement signed between it and the university.

The program, which took place over four weeks and was conducted by a selection of law professors from the university, included training modules encompassing a variety of lectures, daily discussion sessions, and debates focusing on legal subjects, including administrative law and its definitions, structures, and the nature of administrative law in the US. It also covered the shared elements between the Saudi and US administrative judiciaries, the mechanisms of the Saudi administrative judiciary, and its modern legislations, in addition to discussing international and civil legal subjects.

This program is the first of its kind, dedicated to advancing qualifications in law and the judiciary, and contributing to the development of administrative judiciary mechanisms and performance within the Kingdom. It also seeks to transfer the best Saudi judicial practices globally. Additionally, the program marks the beginning of a lasting collaboration agreed upon between the Board of Grievances and Case Western Reserve University.
