AI legal assistant for Jordanian law
LexArab answers questions on Jordanian law from the texts held in its library, citing the article and its source. This page sets out what is covered for Jordan and how to get a precise answer.
The court system in Jordan
Jordan has a civil-law system: the regular courts hear civil, commercial and criminal disputes, with the Court of Cassation at the top. The Administrative Court hears disputes against the State, and commercial arbitration runs through the Jordan International Arbitration Centre (JIAC).
Laws held in the LexArab library
The assistant answers from, and cites, these official texts:
- Civil Code No. 43 of 1976
- Commercial Law No. 12 of 1966
- Penal Code No. 16 of 1960
- Code of Criminal Procedure No. 9 of 1961
The Jordanian Civil Code is one of the cleanest texts in our library, so answers about it quote the article number and its wording verbatim.
Getting a precise answer
Article numbers and rules differ sharply between Arab jurisdictions even where the principle is shared. So:
- Name Jordan in your question. If you do not, the assistant asks which country before answering.
- Say what the question is about: contract, liability, company, employment, criminal.
- Upload your contract or the other side document for analysis under Jordan law.
