Mr. Al Ahmad commented: “The workshop focused on enhancing the Arabic linguistic skills of
legal professionals at the Government of Dubai and developing their ability to draft legislation

using precise and sound language aligned with legal drafting standards. It addressed fundamental
linguistic rules essential for crafting robust legal provisions that are free from loopholes and

ambiguity. The initiative aims to equip legal personnel with practical tools to avoid common
drafting mistakes and to use legal terminology accurately and consistently. Ultimately, our goal

is to support Dubai’s vision for a legislative ecosystem rooted in transparency, adaptability, and
legal certainty, thereby enhancing the investment appeal of the Emirate and driving

development.”

The workshop also underscored the role of legal language as a cornerstone of any successful
legislative ecosystem and as a key tool for facilitating the effective implementation of legislation.

It highlighted the importance of precision and clarity in legislative drafting and the need to avoid
ambiguity that could lead to misinterpretation.

Mr. Al Ahmad further stressed the pivotal role of precision in using language for legislative
drafting in ensuring legal stability by fostering a unified understanding among all relevant parties

in the judicial and legal ecosystem, including judges, lawyers, and government officials, thereby
minimising conflicting interpretations. The session also highlighted the importance of

maintaining neutrality and objectivity in legislative drafting, and introduced the distinct features
of Arabic legalese as a bridge between international legislative and legal systems and a vital

means of accurately conveying the legislative intent.
