Overview
The latest project began in March 2020 and continues the Foundation’s commitment and strengthened cooperation with the legal and justice institutions in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The new project, “Strengthening Legislative Compliance and Constitutional Interpretation in Jordan”, works closely with the Constitutional Court of Jordan, the Court of Cassation, ordinary courts outside of Amman, and the Bureau for Legislation and Opinion, to bolster a holistic approach to the drafting and interpretation of laws by legal drafters and judges. Together with our partners, the Foundation aims at strengthening the capacity of legal drafters and judges on compliance with constitutional law, international law and international standards for legislative drafting.
