Background
Dana Almasri is a Trainee Lawyer at Abdullah & Partners. She supports the firm's lawyers on legal research, on first drafts, and on the preparation of case and transaction files. She is completing the period of training that precedes admission to the Jordanian Bar Association.
Her academic work concentrated on legal research and writing, and that emphasis carries over into the firm's files, where the quality of the written record often decides how a matter proceeds.
Education
Dana holds a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) from the University of Jordan, completed on a full scholarship awarded by the Ministry of Higher Education.
Areas of Support
On research, Dana assembles the material the firm's lawyers work from: the statutory provisions in point and the position taken by the courts. She then prepares the first draft of the memorandum, letter, or submission that follows. She works in Arabic and in English, and her training includes Arabic-to-English legal translation.
Her training outside the firm has concentrated on international human rights standards and their application in domestic law, which informs the way she researches a question where a Jordanian provision sits alongside an international instrument.
