Judiciary Reforms and Appointment Rules
The Al-Okaz newspaper announced the Saudi Cabinet’s decision number (296) dated 26/03/1448 AH, which includes new amendments to the Judiciary Law concerning appointment conditions and promotion pathways within the judicial ranks. The most prominent changes include raising the minimum age for appointment as an Appellate Judge to 35 years, and specifying the judicial career grades in detail, starting from Judicial Lieutenant up to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. The criteria for moving between ranks have been redefined, with certain levels requiring a specific number of years of experience, while some positions can be filled through specialized academic qualifications such as a master's or doctorate in jurisprudence, its fundamentals, or law, with standards for academic performance. These amendments also cover employment conditions for Judges of grades "B" and "A," court presidency, and appellate levels, with the aim of organizing and developing the appointment and promotion criteria within the Saudi judiciary system.
