In the same context, he thanked the country’s great king for this ratification, which constitutes real support for lawyers and at the same time reflects the wise leadership’s keenness to develop the justice system and enhance the role of the lawyer as an essential partner in building the state of law.

As for the legal profession as a major part of the judicial facility, lawyers represent the judiciary standing in all countries of the world, and justice is not complete except through the legal profession.
In international norms, law is not just a profession for making a living, but rather a sublime humanitarian mission aimed at establishing the rules of justice and affirming the rule of law.

The essence of this message is based on integrity, honor, and honesty, as the lawyer partners with the judiciary in searching for the truth and achieving justice. The lawyer is armed with knowledge and law to guide society towards stability and the preservation of human dignity.

He added that the legal profession has witnessed, in recent years, a qualitative shift that has strengthened its position and consolidated its institutional role, which reflects the insightful vision of the wise leadership in supporting the justice system and developing its tools. At the forefront of this support comes the royal patronage that the profession has received from His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, King of the country, through the approval of the Bahraini Bar Law and its amendments, which came in response to the requirements of the stage and developments in legal work, in a way that ensures strengthening the status of the lawyer, preserving his independence, and enabling him to perform his professional duty to the fullest.
