Co-op phase 1
On the first and the second month the nature of my training in the bureau was reading the previous legal documents done by the bureau, such as legal memos and legal notes and old laws and treaties drafted by the bureau or reviewed by it, as well as visiting the drafting council that had given us trainees legal lessons on Arabic drafting.

Co-op phase 2
On the third month I had started to train with legal researchers of the bureau, based on a schedule given to me by the legal review department, to be assigned with a legal researcher each week and work under there supervision and reviewing there work for drafting and legal errors before submission, as well as initial drafting of simple documents such as higher decrees and council of ministers ruling and decisions.

Co-op phase 3
Since the beginning of the forth month I was assigned with one of the brightest legal councils of the bureau dr.yazeed alrashid, under his supervision I had started working on important files and had gotten better on legal drafting, legal research, and legal articles comparison so I’ve learned to compare between legal sentence and know the actual meaning of it , and how to draft it in way that would have a solid meaning that cannot be questioned and competed, and I’ve also learned that in order to draft a new law or regulation I have to read the previous laws if there was and to read the laws of new authorities or new regulations to make sure that the structure of the law is compatible with the Saudi legal system.
during that period I have worked on more than 25 legal file, but unfortunately I can only name those who had published publicly such as:
تعديلات نظام توزيع الغاز الجاف وغاز البترول المسال للأغراض السكنية والتجارية
تنظيم هيو المحتوى المحلي والمشتريات الحكومية
مشروع استراتيجية العمل المشترك في مجال العمل و القوى العاملة لدول مجلس التعاون

conclusion
Training at the bureau of expert is a huge step for me that have added to me on the way I should build my career, and had taught me the necessary things in the work place such as commitment, sense of responsibility, and work ethics, and that an employee reputation is his greatest asset and that he should build it by his great work and achievements, and I would recommend it to new co-op students since it gives you as a legal students a solid legal background on the Saudi laws and who it is drafted and the structure of the Saudi legal system as well as being taught by the best legal drafters in the kingdom and it also gives you a wide exposure on local government bodies and various ministries and local authorities.
The bureau experience was very enlighten to me on a personal level, on who secrecy is important on certain matters and how it should be kept undisclosed.
