The Supreme Judicial Council

The Supreme Judicial Council website presents the Council’s institutional role in managing judicial affairs in Saudi Arabia. The site explains who the Council is, its roles and competences, includes a message from the acting President, and provides the organisational structure and members. It publishes regulatory materials such as rules and regulations, judicial codes and principles, and information about the composition and types of courts across regions. The website offers a set of electronic services for users with judicial-related needs. Available e-services include filing a request to resolve jurisdictional conflicts, submitting an electronic complaint to the Judicial Inspection, booking appointments, and checking the status of incoming or outgoing transactions. The site also enables users to download files for rules, regulations, judicial codes and documents related to court formation. Visitors use the site to access the Council’s remit over judicial personnel matters—appointments, promotions, discipline, secondments and training—and its supervisory and organisational functions over courts and their presidents. The site provides news and events about the Council and judges, regional court listings by type and area, and periodically updated statistics on processed requests and services. The website serves judges, judicial staff, legal professionals, researchers and residents who need access to official regulatory documents, electronic judicial services, procedural information, or contact and support channels provided by the Council.
