The lawyers at Arida Law Firm are practicing lawyers, and our mission is to start with the lawyer from the training stage until he works within the team of specialized lawyers.

In general, once a lawyer in Jordan obtains a license to practice the profession, he has the right to speak before all courts in Jordan, except for some restrictions, such as having to practice for 5 years to enable him to appear before administrative courts. Training is also necessary to practice law before Sharia courts, and there are restrictions for lawyers practicing before ecclesiastical courts as well.


The law that regulates the work of the legal profession for regular lawyers in Jordan and lawyers in Jordan is the Jordanian Bar Association Law.
