Saudi Arabia May Allow Female Lawyers in Court

 
For the first time in Saudi Arabia, the government is planning to draft a law that would allow women to try legal cases in court, reported the Associated Press on Feb. 20. 
 
Saudi Arabia’s Sheik Mohammed al-Issa reportedly said the historical change is a “plan to develop the justice system” and should be out soon. 
 
“Under the new law, women would be allowed to argue cases on child custody, divorce and other family-related issues,” the article reported.
