Lawyers' Head: 44,000 Qualified Students but Limited Job Market
The President of the Jordanian Bar Association, Yehia Abu Abood, revealed that around 44,000 students are qualified to study law. However, the job market cannot accommodate this number. He pointed out that there are 37,500 lawyers, of whom 19,700 are not practicing the profession. Some are working in the public sector or outside the kingdom, along with 5,000 trainees among lawyers. He explained that approximately 80% of law graduates tend to join the Bar Association, despite recent changes in academic tracks allowing many students to avoid courses in physics, mathematics, and English. This has led to about 44,000 students being prepared to study law—more than the capacity of law faculties to accommodate.
