DJI Launches 15th Cohort of Legal Training Programme for Public Prosecution Members

The Dubai Judicial Institute (DJI) has launched the 15th cohort of its accredited flagship programme, ‘Judicial and Legal Studies for Public Prosecution Members’, as part of its ongoing efforts to develop national legal talent and enhance the readiness of judicial authority members in line with international professional standards.

The launch ceremony was attended by senior judicial officials, including His Excellency Counsellor Essam Issa Al Humaidan, Attorney General of Dubai and Chairman of the Board of the Dubai Judicial Institute, and Her Excellency Judge Dr. Ebtessam Ali Al Badwawi, Director General of DJI, along with leaders from the Public Prosecution.

The latest cohort includes 22 Emirati trainees nominated to join the Public Prosecution. The programme is designed to provide a comprehensive blend of legal education, judicial knowledge and practical training, equipping participants with the competencies required for effective judicial and prosecutorial work.

Officials said the initiative reflects Dubai’s commitment to strengthening institutional capacity and ensuring that judicial personnel are prepared to meet evolving challenges in criminal investigations and court procedures.

Speaking at the launch, H.E. Counsellor Essam Issa Al Humaidan stressed the importance of accredited training programmes in broadening legal knowledge, enhancing specialist expertise, and building confidence among Public Prosecution members. He said such initiatives align with the vision of Dubai’s leadership to empower national talent and reinforce the emirate’s position as a global model for judicial excellence and rule of law.

H.E. Judge Dr. Ebtessam Ali Al Badwawi said the launch of the 15th cohort underscores DJI’s continued focus on advanced qualification programmes that support the development of a future-ready judicial system. She added that the programme is central to preparing national talent with strong legal understanding and practical capability.

She further described the training of Public Prosecution members as a strategic investment in the future of justice, noting that DJI continues to collaborate with judicial experts to ensure a high-quality learning experience that strengthens national competencies.

Running over six months, the programme comprises 450 training hours, equivalent to 30 accredited credit hours under the National Qualifications Framework. It integrates theoretical instruction with practical application across specialised criminal disciplines.

Coinciding with the launch, DJI also honoured trainers from the 14th cohort under the theme ‘Pioneers of Training Excellence: A Lasting Impact’, recognising their contribution to developing Public Prosecution members and transferring judicial expertise to future cohorts.

Through its accredited training initiatives, DJI said it continues to reinforce its role as a leading judicial training institution, supporting the development of highly qualified legal professionals and strengthening Dubai’s position as a global benchmark for judicial excellence.
