Mohamed Badawy
Edit ProfileEducation
Badawy studied law at Cairo University, which was founded on 21 December 1908 as the Egyptian University. The institution was established by a committee of private citizens with royal patronage, and it became a state institution under King Fuad I in 1925.
The university was renamed King Fuad I University in 1940 and adopted its current name after the 1952 revolution. It was conceived as a European-inspired civil university, in contrast to the religious tradition of Al-Azhar, and it became a model for other Egyptian state universities. Badawy received his Bachelor of Laws from Cairo University in 1981.
Under current Egyptian regulations, registration with the Egyptian Bar requires a law degree from an Egyptian university or an equivalent foreign qualification, which places the university degree at the start of a lawyer's professional qualification.
Career
Badawy's documented professional position is partner of the Eigha Tit La W firm, a law practice in Cairo. Egyptian lawyers may practise only after registering with the Egyptian Bar Association, and law firms must likewise be registered with the Bar.
Under the Egyptian legal framework, private practitioners may work as sole practitioners or through partnership with other lawyers. Badawy's partnership in such a practice reflects this structure, and his admission to the bar in 1981 marked the point at which he entered the profession.
Membership
Badawy was admitted to the bar in Egypt in 1981, which connected him with the Egyptian Bar Association. Founded in 1912, the Association is one of the oldest bar associations in the Middle East and regulates the legal profession in Egypt, setting and enforcing standards of professional conduct for lawyers. Membership is compulsory for practising lawyers.
