While searching for this project, we started reading lots of articles that talk about women needs in Saudi and the community interaction in women as lawyers in Saudi Arabia. After that, we used books about women rights in Islam and the important of having women as lawyers in all over the countries.

Articles from relevant journals will be used to confirm the important of allowing Saudi women to work as lawyers . An account of different views on the matter will be obtained from blogs, newspapers, and articles. The material used will come from a variety of sources and different formats, which includes online sites, statements made by Saudi judges, and opinions stated by Saudi female lawyers.

As women of Saudi Arabia started to claim their right of defending themselves or having a women defend them, they had many who opposed them. Women of this society need to have lawyers who will understand them and will be sure to defend them fairly without any biases.
