BURAIDAH — Lawyer Jamilah Al-Atram has become the first woman to register as a legal practitioner in Qassim province.

Al-Atram said she is trained to be a lawyer and a public notary.

“The Ministry of Justice aims to empower more women to join the ministry and serve the country. We need more women to practice law, which is now a male-dominated field. There is no discrimination between men and women in the courtroom. I encourage more women to pursue the legal career to represent all layers of society,” said Al-Atram.
