His Engineering background has also allowed him to deal with complex technical and engineering issues. Given that the Egyptian Civil Code of 1949 was the model for most of the Arab Middle East civil codes, the jurisprudence and doctrinal commentaries of Egyptian courts and scholars remain highly authoritative in the various Arab Middle East jurisdictions.
