Court Expertise Goes Live
The expert-witness system has come into force in Jordan’s courts. Justice Minister Bassam Talhouni said it aims to modernize litigation procedures, improve experts’ efficiency, and speed up the resolution of cases. The system fully automates expert-related procedures—from registering, accrediting, appointing, and evaluating experts to submitting complaints and issuing notifications electronically—and establishes an electronic registry and a rotation-based selection mechanism. It also requires experts to obtain accreditation and renew it annually, strengthens oversight and accountability through disciplinary penalties, obliges experts to act independently and impartially, and prohibits them from communicating directly with parties to a case outside legal procedures.
