arbitrary enforcement. “This book is the result of close collaboration between the SLC and the
DJI, demonstrating our joint dedication to disseminating legal knowledge and serving public

publishing house, the DJI is committed to nurturing the legal and judicial community. Through

our ‘Shared Knowledge Initiatives’, we consistently provide diversified series of publications,

studies, and academic research papers aimed at enriching the knowledge of the legal
community. This empowers stakeholders within the judicial system by equipping them with the

necessary resources to enhance their performance and expand their knowledge base.”

Al-Badawi pointed out that the launch of the ‘Administrative Penalties for Criminal Offences’
book in partnership with the SLC reflects the DJI’s commitment to nurturing legal researchers

and celebrating their academic achievements aimed at enhancing legal awareness within

society.

This launch marks the latest milestone in the collaboration between the SLC and the DJI. This

partnership aims to establish a solid groundwork for the application of best practices that

enhance legislative endeavours and establish a legal and judicial framework conducive to
sustainable development in the UAE.
