On July 20, 2026, the Moroccan House of Representatives adopted Bill No. 01.24, which reorganizes the profession of judicial expert, in second reading. The bill passed with 74 votes in favor and 21 abstentions, according to official parliamentary records.
The legislation aims to modernize the regulatory framework for judicial experts, enhancing their role in the justice system. Key provisions include stricter qualification requirements, a centralized registry, and ethical guidelines to ensure impartiality and professionalism.
Minister of Justice Abdellatif Ouahbi stated that the reform seeks to strengthen the credibility of judicial expertise and improve the efficiency of legal proceedings. The bill had been under review since its introduction earlier in 2024.
The adoption follows a series of consultations with professional associations and legal experts. The new law is expected to enter into force after publication in the Official Bulletin.
