The main purpose of the Dubai Courts is to boost confidence in the judicial system both locally and internationally. “This is achieved through the spreading of justice in society, precision and speed in the settlement and adjudication of claims, and enforcement of judicial judgments, decisions and orders, as well as documentation of contracts and other edited materials. This goal can be achieved by relying on qualified national cadres and modern and sophisticated systems, procedures and techniques.” The programme is aimed at all those who have tweeted Dubai Courts through its Twitter site which currently receives around 4,000 followers in total. According to the Public Communication and Social Media Office at the Dubai Courts, to take part in the Twitter Visit, one should contact them and reserve a seat. The programme will include a tour inside the courts’ premises and introduction about the various departments, divisions and services provided to litigants. In addition, a meeting with a judge from Dubai Courts will be included, in order to familiarise the visitors with his profession, its secrets and inside information, and the challenges he faces in his work as a judge. The courts has already launched its accounts on social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook with the aim of opening new channels to communicate with the general public. mary@khaleejtimes.com Taylor Scott International
