“Respecting civil rights is the foundation for economic growth and social stability!”
Civil laws are the foundations of peaceful coexistence that govern a community’s daily interactions, property ownership, contractual obligations, and family dynamics. The Wolayta Zone Justice Department’s Civil Matters Work Process firmly believes that the proper implementation of these laws not only protects citizens’ rights but also plays a crucial role in strengthening commercial and investment activities in our zone.
The Civil Work Process primarily focuses on safeguarding the government’s and the public’s civil interests. This includes:
Ensuring that various contracts and property disputes involving the government are handled legally without compromising the public interest.
Providing legal advice to government institutions to proactively prevent potential legal risks and causes for litigation.
Striving to establish a practice of transparency and accountability by providing legal support to agreements and contracts that accelerate the zone’s development.
In our work process, we give special attention to women, children, and other economically disadvantaged segments of society. Providing legal support and advice to ensure family rights are respected and that inheritance and property division are conducted fairly is a core part of our work.
This newly launched website (wolaitajustice.gov.et) makes our civil services more accessible. It will enable you to easily access various civil laws and directives, understand contract preparation and legal forms through the website, and stay updated on information regarding civil disputes and new practices.
Our goal is to ensure that civil conflicts are resolved peacefully in Wolayta Zone through civilized legal dispute resolution and advisory services, and to raise citizens’ legal awareness. We continue to make procedural reforms to reduce the loss of resources and time caused by delayed justice.
Dear residents and stakeholders of our zone, before entering into any civil relationship, it is appropriate to obtain legal advice and know your rights. We invite you to utilize the services provided by using our website and following our guidance.
Mr. Tilahun Churko
Coordinator of Civil Matters Work Process
