LIST OF ATTORNEYS
CONSULAR DISTRICT OF JEDDAH, SAUDI ARABIA

October 2012




The Jeddah Consular District is comprised of the administrative
districts of the Western Province (Jeddah, Taif, Makkah, Rabigh, Yanbu
and Madinah), the Northern Province (Tabuk) and the Southern Province
(Abha, Khamis Mushayt, Al Baha, Najran, and Gizan). The Eastern
Province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia lies within the jurisdiction of the
American Consulate General in Dhahran. The United States Embassy in
Riyadh covers all other districts.

Courts in Saudi Arabia are based on Islamic (Sharia) law, which is
very different from American civil or criminal law. Consultation with an
attorney is suggested for those involved in legal matters in the Kingdom.
If appointing an attorney, be advised that legal representatives must
have Saudi nationality to present cases in Sharia court. However,
citizens of any nationality may represent themselves in both Sharia and
Labor Court.

Law firms in Saudi Arabia cannot perform notarial services. Only a
court of the Saudi Ministry of Justice has that authorization.

At is advisable to send important legal documents to and from Saudi
Arabia by registered mail.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROFESSIONAL ABILITY OR INTEGRITY OF
