Justice minister: New technical office rules to boost judicial quality

Justice Minister Walid Al-Samaani has announced new technical office regulations aimed at enhancing the quality of judicial work. He emphasized that improving judicial work requires maintaining high standards, integrating roles, and utilizing data and performance indicators to boost outcomes. Al-Samaani expressed gratitude for the support of King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the Prime Minister, in advancing the justice sector.

He explained that enhancing judicial work entails more than just procedural organization; it also involves assessing the quality of output and utilizing review results to refine work methods and train staff. These regulations, approved by the Supreme Judicial Council, govern the preparation and technical review processes and delineate responsibilities at different stages of litigation to bolster judicial quality.

The rules encourage early technical review, utilize review outcomes and performance indicators to augment institutional knowledge and pinpoint areas for improvement, and permit the application of approved artificial intelligence technologies to assist in preparation and technical review tasks.
