Free legal consultations are set to be made available by the Dubai Courts to 1,000 clients this year at an estimated cost of Dh3 million. The free consultations will be provided by 81 accredited law firms in Dubai, under the supervision of a group of volunteer lawyers.
The new initiative falls within the 'Sanabel Al Khair' programme as part of the Dubai Courts' efforts to develop a culture of giving and philanthropy within the legal and judicial community. The drive is in line with the announcement of 2017 as the Year of Giving by the President, His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
According to the Dubai Courts, the programme is based on three main principles: Social responsibility, volunteer work and serving the nation.
Courts have already started implementing 15 major initiatives, which aim to support one of the Year of Giving pillars to promote and spread the culture of volunteerism among the UAE community.
Taresh Eid Al Mansouri, director-general of Dubai Courts, said: "Sanabel Al Khair demonstrates our commitment to effectively contribute to the humanitarian and philanthropic efforts in the UAE.
"Sanabel Al Khair is a diversified and integrated programme that includes voluntary, community, humanitarian and philanthropic initiatives that support our efforts to serve our country. It guarantees the rights, happiness and satisfaction of all citizens and residents in the UAE. We are driven by a clear vision for building a legal and judicial system based on values of giving, justice, independence and transparency."
