Riyadh-mission ticket

Another meaningless smoke and mirrors article about Saudi Arabia. There are no available law licenses for Saudi female law graduates and so career prospects at the moment within the Kingdom are non-existant. While it is nice to have a female graduate in the office, they cannot attend at the Ministries, they cannot attend at the courts, and they have the usual limited legal and research skills as male Saudi graduates (who can, in time, obtain a law licence and go on to have a career as a lawyer). So we take the female graduates in for a year or two, make the right corporate responsibility noises, and spend time and money on training. The female graduates (who are not lawyers because they cannot get a licence) realise they are going nowhere in their careers and they leave to study overseas or because they get married to Saudi men who do not want their wives to be mixing with male lawyers, especially western male lawyers. Come back in 20 years and by then you may have something to write about.
