In order to activate the role of law in society, it is important to study it, understand its objectives as well as its role in protecting individuals, instilling the stability of society and the achievement of its economic objectives, which is the goal we sought to achieve through the ‘Legal for non-legal professionals’ course.”

Hence the need to educate individuals about the law so that they can know their rights, in order to protect them and safely conduct their legal affairs. The ‘Legal for non-legal professionals’ course came within this context, as it highlighted laws and their functions, as well as alternatives to dispute settlement, in addition to a number of related topics.”
