The centers and their total number are 10 G.M. per shibr for the judges. It is hoped that the new school for training Sharia judges, described in the discussion of education, will endeavor to increase the efficiency of those appointed to judicial positions. This school has begun under conditions that promise a good future for it. In a short time, it will graduate a group of intelligent and capable judges who can be relied upon to reform the Sharia judiciary.

What is noteworthy in the annual report of the Judicial Administration for the year is the increase in pending cases in the Court of Appeal and the Mixed Courts. The reason for this increase is the large number of cases filed. The courts, in their current situation, are unable to review the backlog or complete the work in some instances. The number of cases filed in the Court of Appeal increased by 111 cases compared to the previous year, reaching 1107 cases. As a result, the number of pending cases increased to 5615, which is approximately what the court handles in a year.

In the Mixed Primary Courts, the increase in civil and commercial cases filed reached 3000, with over 1000 of them pending. This is particularly evident in Alexandria, where the total number of pending cases reached 1000, and in Cairo, where the total number of pending cases reached 1501, a huge number. Most of the work in the Mixed Courts of Egypt is done in sessions. In these sessions, 1454 cases were decided. However, the new year began with 1501 pending cases. If these sessions continue at their usual average pace, it will take a year and a half to clear the backlog, not including new cases filed. In this situation, there is no room for optimism or concern about the completion of work in the Mixed Courts. The consuls of the countries in Cairo have sent memoranda to the government on this matter, expressing their complaints and stating that simple cases, such as those heard in the summary courts, which involve bills of exchange or rent payments, remain pending for months, and in some cases, for a year before a decision is issued.
