Doha: Twelve Qatari experts took the legal oath at the Ministry of Justice as accredited experts before the judicial authorities in the country in accordance with the controls outlined in Law No. (16) of 2017 regulating the work of expertise.

The experts received registration certificates to carry out their duties after registering them in the roster experts at the Experts Department of the Ministry of Justice.

This batch includes many cadres with expertise in different disciplines, including subtle and rare specialties, such as chemical engineering, quantity calculation engineering, building contract engineering, forgery and forgery detection, and specialized expertise in accounting and real estate valuation.
