Judiciary and Arbitration in Bahrain A Historical and Analytical Study

Allthough Bahrain has had an established system of law courts since 1771, it was only in the course of the twentieth century that it gradually developed a full-fledged legal system compatible with international norms. Today, like the other Gulf states, its sophisticated judiciary represents a blend of Islamic Shari'a, a British common law, and modern reforms drawn principally from Egypt's civil law-influenced tradition. In recent decades, arbitration has also taken its place as an important adjunct to the judiciary.Radhi, Hassan Ali is the author of 'Judiciary and Arbitration in Bahrain A Historical and Analytical Study' with ISBN 9789041122179 and ISBN 9041122176.
