Why is Law Not the Premier Profession in Egypt?

In this episode, Mr. Mohamed Reda addresses the issue of the decline in the status of the legal profession in Egyptian society compared to its glorious past, recalling the golden age of jurists when senior statesmen and prime ministers, such as Saad Zaghloul, Mustafa El-Nahas, and Makram Ebeid, practiced law. He also highlights the reasons why students are reluctant to join law school or practice the profession after graduation, emphasizing the marginalization faced by the lawyer despite being an essential pillar without which the justice system cannot be complete. Mr. Mohamed Reda offers advice to young people on the necessity of fully dedicating themselves to the profession and not combining it with other work, along with the importance of continuous reading and education in various sciences such as forensic medicine and engineering. Finally, he stresses the necessity for the lawyer to select the appropriate client and be convinced of the justice of the case, just as the client is meticulous when choosing their lawyer.
