Egyptian courts of the State Council in many governorates began their work on Saturday with the appearance of 98 female judges sitting on the podium first time in history.

Upon a decree from President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, 98 female judges took the legal oath on Thursday in preparation for assuming judicial roles in the Council.

The appointment is considered to be an unprecedented judicial event as it is the first time in history a female judge will sit on the podium of the State Council courts since its inception 75 years ago.

On his part, the President of the State Council affirmed that all the appointed judges hold a master’s degree with a general grade of “excellent” and “very good”. Moreover, he added that some of them hold a doctorate degree, and most of them excel foreign languages.

Female celebrities took it to social media to encourage and support all the 98 judges.
