This is a guest post by Janice Hyde, Program Officer for the Global Legal Information Network.
My colleague, George Sadek, and I had the privilege of accompanying Law Librarian David Mao on a recent trip to Doha, Qatar, where David offered opening remarks at a ceremony inaugurating a new portal that provides access to Qatar’s legal information. The portal was created by the Ministry of Justice with the technical assistance of ictQATAR and is known in Arabic as Al Meezan, meaning “balance.” I took this photograph of George and David following the ceremony, which received wide press coverage.
