The closing ceremony was attended by Dr. Ahmed Saeed Bin Hazim, General Manager, Dubai Courts, Humaid Rashid bin Deemas Al Suwaidi, Acting Director-General of the Ministry of Labour and Judge Dr. Jamal Hussein Alsumaiti, DJI Director General.
The diploma program ran for two weeks, as a DJI initiative for promoting broader investments in human and intellectual capital as well as enhanced creativity and innovation. It provided participants working in the legal and judicial systems with new legal knowledge and the latest updates as well as best international practices. It also developed their abilities to complement the goals outlined by Dubai Strategic Plan 2015.
The concluding ceremony, which witnessed the graduation of 15 legal researchers for the Ministry of Labor, honored the lecturers and ministry employees who took part in the program. The program designers and coordinators were recognized as well.
Commenting on the program, Dr. Alsumaiti said: “The legal research diploma program complements the Institute's training plan for 2010 which focuses on organizing a series of specialized training courses, workshops, administrative programs, forums, and social awareness initiatives, among others. This program follows the success of training initiatives specially designed for Dubai Courts aimed at providing the judicial authority with qualified personnel whose skills meet the highest international standards.”
“We are pleased to cooperate with the Ministry of Labor in implementing this initiative, which resulted in the graduation of 15 legal researchers who will definitely have a positive impact in enhancing the judicial process in Dubai and the UAE in general. We reaffirm our commitment to sustaining our cooperation with all concerned bodies and authorities in the country in terms of providing local youths with the best vocational training courses and development programs so that the judicial system reaches new heights,” he added.
For his part, Humaid Rashid bin Deemas Al Suwaidi: “This program is in line with the Ministry’s strategic plan of enhancing and qualifying human resources through partnerships with specialised training institutions such as the Dubai Judicial Institute. We in the Ministry are proud of our collaboration with the Institute, particularly with its program trainers who are a select group of judiciary professionals, interpreters of the Labour Law and issuers of judicial decisions covering labour cases that are referred by our agency. This program on Shariah and judicial interpretations is a valuable training tool that makes real and practical cases more understandable for legal researchers working for the Ministry of Labour."
"We are honoured to witness the graduation of this batch of qualified legal researchers who have been trained based on the highest international standards. Their level of expertise will help the Ministry better develop its work and legal mechanisms and upgrade its service levels, which in turn will positively reflect on the overall development process of Dubai and the entire UAE. The implementation of this program specifically designed for our legal staff emphasises our confidence in the leading role of the Institute in supporting investments in human capital, promoting legal knowledge, and consolidating the principles of justice, security and safety within the various segments of society,” added Al Suwaidi.
