The Abu Dhabi Judicial Department is taking part in the 23rd edition of the Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition 2026, held from 28 August to 6 September 2026 under the slogan "Our Heritage is Our Strength and Our Pride", as part of its commitment to spreading legal awareness through innovative methods. The Department is presenting diverse knowledge content that promotes compliance with the legislation and regulations governing hunting, equestrian sports and camel racing, and supports the responsible and informed practice of these activities.

His Excellency Counsellor Yousef Saeed Al Abri, Undersecretary of the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department, and Counsellor Ali Mohammed Al Balooshi, Attorney General of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, visited the exhibition, where they toured the Department's pavilion and reviewed its events, awareness and educational corners and interactive workshops, along with its specialised publications and knowledge materials, which reflect the diversity of the initiatives and programmes offered to the exhibition's visitors.

His Excellency Counsellor Yousef Saeed Al Abri affirmed the Department's keenness, throughout its participation in the exhibition, to deliver varied awareness content suited to the different segments of society, contributing to entrenching legal culture and strengthening community responsibility.
