Lawyers' statement does not alter ruling on Jordanian women’s children
The Jordanian Bar Association has acknowledged that it does not automatically have the right to accept the daughters of Jordanian women for membership without conditions. However, it clarified that the Bar Council is the legally authorized body to consider registration requests and make decisions regarding them, based on Article 93 of the Bar Law. The association explains that the requirement of Jordanian citizenship for ten years or the availability of specific conditions for those holding Arab nationalities does not automatically grant daughters of Jordanian women the right to membership. Instead, eligibility depends on meeting the legal criteria and the limited exceptions specified by law. It confirmed that its recent decision was made in accordance with the Council’s discretion, while maintaining legal standards related to the interest and future of the profession. Since September 2022, the number of daughters of Jordanian women admitted has reached 22 lawyers who met the legal requirements.
