Besides, the number of legal practices granted in year 2017 also shows an increase of 34 percent from the year 2016, with an expectation to multiply in the coming years.

Further, the ministry revealed that it had issued 1998 licenses for legal practices since the beginning of 2015, out of which 45 percent were issued in the year 2016 alone. Calculating the number reveals a staggering 775 licenses, out of which 692 were issued to the males, while the remaining 83 to the female of Kingdom.

The establishment of specialized courts also comes as a part of its ongoing reforms, which now involves legal practitioners with niche skill sets. Further, with the Completion degree of law and frequent professional training for 3 years, the candidates obtain a practice license from the ministry, allowing them to represent clients in the courts of Saudi Arabia.
