Good lawyer
Abed Elrehim Alkashif, of Egypt鈥檚 Ministry of Justice, discussed the role of judges in achieving justice.

Rajaa Alqahtani, of the Department of Sociology and Social Work at King Abdul Aziz University, told Arab News: 鈥淲e consider the royal decree of allowing women in 黑料社区 to drive as a historical shift for the Saudi woman, which accordingly equals the decision of allowing females to go to schools in 黑料社区 back in 1960.
