Dubai: The first batch of female public prosecutors who were sworn in as trainees at the Dubai Judicial Institute (DJI) on Tuesday have shown readiness to face challenges and eagerness to investigate criminal and civil cases.
Ten females, who were among a list of 30 public prosecution trainees that will start a judicial training programme at DJI next Sunday, swore in on Tuesday before Dubai Attorney General Essam Eisa Al Humaidan.
Thuraya Al Zarouni, who worked as a lawyer for six years, said she is ready to face any challenge in her upcoming job and expressed her eagerness to investigate criminal cases.
"I acquired good experience in handling criminal cases when I practiced law... my family supports me now and I am eager to work as a public prosecutor."
She told Gulf News that she chose public prosecution because she wants to serve the country.
"Why not become the first female chief prosecutor or attorney general?" she said.
The 30 public prosecution interns represent the DJI's 10th batch and were sworn in ahead of joining Dubai's Public Prosecution Department as assistant prosecutors.
The interns, who are the largest batch so far, were short-listed from over 250 applicants from all over the UAE, following a meticulous selection process that included oral and written examinations and a personal interview.
"I am seeking to specialise in criminal or commercial cases investigations. I have chosen to become a public prosecutor because I want to serve my country and make the UAE proud of its women. My family opposed my practising law at first but then they accepted the idea and supported me," said Amna Jamal Bukattara, who has eight years of experience.
