Lawyer Ghofran Ashour says: The curfew allowed us to spend more time at home, and gave us enough free time to develop our thinking and self-development, so I decided to use this opportunity to develop the legal information I had and see the new updates that accompanied us in the regulations, as we also had during that period Distance courses, which talk about the means of evidence adopted in the Saudi system, and about the methods of pleading before the courts, in addition to employing the curfew period by taking various courses and focusing on methods of persuasion and rhetoric, which are among the basics of the personality of a lawyer.

For her part, lawyer Masara Fityani says: The pandemic caused us to realize the true value of life and time, and to rearrange priorities, making me isolated during the quarantine period and pandemic situations. It gave me enough time to familiarize myself with more important religious and legal books, as well as the most important laws that a lawyer must familiarize himself with for his permanent dealings with them, foremost of which is the system of criminal procedures, legal pleadings and the legal profession, as well as the system of companies, work and combating money laundering.

And she adds: Because of my interest in personal status issues and my membership in the “Integration of Legal Aid” initiative, I looked at the terms of reference of the Personal Status Court, as well as other commercial, labor and penal courts.

It is important in refining the mind, rethinking and developing in several topics and matters, and for me that period was specific to focusing on self-development, and rethinking the lifestyle and professionalism in general, by holding free courses in the field of cybersecurity or by striving to obtain new educational and development systems, During which I gained a number of experiences through courses through various applications, and it added a lot to me in my career, such as lectures specialized in the beginnings of cybersecurity, its importance, and how an individual in the field of cybersecurity moves from a student to an executive leader, in addition to training courses in determining my target audience Whether it was in the field of cybersecurity or marketing and advertising, as well as in accelerating the wheel of digital transformation in digital interfaces and many others, in addition to attending a number of educational workshops, seminars and international lectures via virtual platforms, the period of home quarantine was for me the golden period of rethinking, development, and rebuilding Professional self and drawing practical lines with a new approach and concept that fits the digital age to which we have moved now.
