Sharia Law Personal Statement

Women's rights in the Middle East have always been a controversial issue. Although the rights of women have changed over the years, they have never really been equal to the rights of a man. This poses a threat on Iran because women have very limited options when it comes to labor, marriage and other aspects of their culture. I believe that equal treatment for women and men is a fundamental principal of international human rights standards. Yet, in some places like Iran, discriminatory practices against women are not only prevalent, but in some cases, required by law. In this essay I will explain to you the every day life of an every day Islamic woman living in Iran. You will be astonished by what these women have endured through the

However, with the emergence of multicultural policy, some difficulties have developed in the attempt to in place these policies. The challenges which have emerged include the problem of how to properly categorize minorities, the problem of conditions and sequencing, and the relationship between justice and security, (Kymlicka, 2013, pp. 8-9). Examining the relationship between justice and security, the question of to what extent should minority rights be preserved, and what risks are worth taking is brought forward, (Kymlicka, 2013, p. 9). Putting Sharia law into practice is controversial because while it follows multicultural, the practice also differentiates from Canadian law, and puts some Canadians at

Therefore, giving everyone a voice and means to express their opinions.

Building on this interest, I took part in the National Bar Mock Trial competition which gave me a valuable insight into the important roles of assessing a criminal case in court. This led me to undertake work experience in a solicitor's firm, where I shadowed a criminal lawyer. I observed client consultations, and had an attempt to draft legal documents and

I have been interested in Law, in particular Criminal Law, for a few years and my ambition is to be a Coroner. It is my aspiration to achieve a good understanding of the law, to provide the best service as well as the ability to give reports in a court of law.  Many aspects of the law are of interest to me because it is a fundamental part of our society.  I have visited the Stafford Crown Court to witness various cases, including a murder, an assault and a theft trial. Witnessing these cases has provided me with a deeper understanding of what life as a lawyer involves, and how the law is practiced.

INTRODUCTION: Human rights are abused every day in a magnitude of different ways. This could be in the form of labour of forcing someone to do something such as in England in the 19th century. There are groups and individuals who have set themselves out to stop human rights abuse.

I 'm not the world 's most prolific or experienced trial lawyer. But after ten years of practice, I 've been around a few courtrooms and various types of cases.

Sharia law is an ancient compilation of religious rules that most Muslim nations seek reference in governing their people. Also defined as Islamic law, the essence of sharia laws emanated from the life of Prophet Mohammed known as the hadiths as well as the Quran teachings. The hadiths entail the vocal expressions of prophet Muhammad on divine life and his condemnation of immoral behavior that undermine the acceptable way of life. The teachings are accepted by the Muslim community who affirm that Muhammad’s teachings supplement the functionality of the Quran. On the other hand, the Quran, which forms the core reference on Muslim beliefs and regulations provides moral and spiritual guidance among the Muslims. It also dictates how the Muslims should interact with the non-Muslim community without contravening on the sharia doctrines (Hallaq 20-25).

The idea of justice being like beauty intrigued me as it discussed the fact that it is incredibly variable and consequently cannot truly be achieved by any justice system. As a result, this has led me to question the degree of unfairness that occurs in the justice system due to the perceptions of the professionals involved. One of the cases that I find most fascinating is the case of Amy Bradley, a woman who disappeared whilst on a cruise and since then there have been alleged sightings of her in brothels but she has not been found. I took part in a Careers in Law workshop at the Inner Temple, which gave me an insight into the experiences of different lawyer and deepened my interest into the field of work.

A major advantage of the use and involvement of ordinary “lay” people in the operation of the law, is that it promotes public confidence, enhancing democracy within the legal system whilst also giving a common sense perspective (Simmonds, 2014) Furthermore, due to trials being open to the public, justice is seen to be done.

‘What kind of lawyer do I want to be’ is a very wide question open to a whole range of interpretations. Choosing to study Law at university almost certainly means becoming either a barrister or a solicitor will be the route to follow, but this choice as well as deciding whether to practice civil or criminal law is one which requires substantial thought. Having carried out work experience at my local Crown Court, and visited the Exeter Crown Court, it has impacted how I see my future. Additionally, my independent research coupled with seminar tasks in negotiation and advocacy have also helped to shape my decision. These experiences have brought to my attention a range of ethical concerns within the courtroom, however there are two issues in particular that have stood out. The first being cross-examination of vulnerable witnesses and defendants, for example, the elderly, rape victims, and children, and the second issue being legal aid and its impact. Learning about legal aid within the legal foundations course has opened my eyes to the struggle of the ‘ordinary person’ unable to obtain legal advice, and the significant, increasing divide between city firms advising corporate clients and the ‘high street firm’ advising the everyday citizen. Both of these issues have impacted on how I see my future as a lawyer.

There are certain Rules Which Create Prohibition, Approvals or Disapprovals in Islam. We Will see in the following discussion that how these rules are Categorized. As Muslim Jurits have use the word Hukum-ul-Shari for these rules we will also see that how the jurists have defined it. These rules have been given in form of Wajib Makrooh Mustahaab Haram Mandub and etc. We Will try to differentiate them from each other by the views of Classical Jurists. These rules are there to control the life style of the human beings specially Muslims. And these commands have been given through a communication and this communication between Allah and the Mankind has been defined by Immam Shafi.

Africa isn’t not necessarily considered to be a region that has a majority of muslim communities, it does inhabit a surprising amount who do practice that religion. A particular and highly influenced aspect of the muslim community is that of sharia law. Sharia is basically the legal code many of those who are muslim practice. Though many would see a legal code as “straightforward” in its ways, sharia law holds up to many interpretations; ranging to what can be seen as “liberal” sharia to “radical-terroristic” sharia. Throughout the explanations in this essay on the current state of sharia law in Africa, it is important to note that the only aspect of sharia law in Africa, which is the “radical-terroristic” perception, will be discussed in this article. Throughout this essay, “The Current State of Sharia Law in Africa” will be addressed using news headlines, examples, the law code and procedures countries are taking in order to contain the spread of this particular comprehension of sharia law.
