Dr. Al-Jazi commented, "Today, we celebrate this joint achievement created with our partner Sader Legal Publications in the Republic of Lebanon, the oldest legal publishing house in the Arab world. Our combined efforts aim to enhance legal knowledge and practice in arbitration. We have worked diligently and professionally to provide a comprehensive and valuable resource for both novice and experienced lawyers in this important field."
Lawyer Rani Sader provided a historical overview of Sader Publishing, established in 1863. He mentioned that in 1868, the publishing house translated Ottoman "firmans" (decrees) into Arabic for the local population to understand the applicable laws. He explained that Sader Publishing was founded to promote knowledge and culture rather than for commercial purposes, noting that he represents the fifth generation of the Sader family. Sader emphasized that Jordan has the potential to become a regional and international arbitration center due to its legal expertise and stability.
