A TRIBUTE |
|
The late Ali Sharif Zu’bi
1917 – 2007
|
Born in Damascus in 1917, our former senior partner Ali Sharif Zu’bi was raised
in Nazareth, Palestine, the elder son of the late Sharif Ali Zu’bi, the founder
of our firm. He was educated at the Jerusalem Law School and was called to the Palestinian
Bar in 1943. He practiced for ten years in Palestine as a criminal lawyer and then
moved his office to Amman in 1953.
The late Mr. Zu’bi was an experienced litigator and arbitrator whose practice was
initially concerned with commercial contracts and litigation. He has left behind
him a great legacy in his law practice that has steadily grown from a one-man law
office in 1953 to become one of the leading law firms in Jordan today.
A seasoned cross-examiner, the late Ali Sharif Zu’bi will be remembered for his
historical and memorable sessions in court that were attended and witnessed by lawyers,
advocate trainees and law students alike over a period that spanned more than half
a century.
The late Ali Sharif Zu’bi was indeed a role model for many distinguished former
ministers, judges and lawyers in Jordan who completed their legal training under
his supervision. He was the ultimate professional whose achievements will continue
to be a source of inspiration for the generations to come.
