The Dubai Courts (Arabic: محاكم دبي) are a Government of Dubai department responsible for the management, administration, hearing and issuing of judicial judgements for the Emirate of Dubai. The department is led by a Director-General who sits at the Dubai Executive Council and reports directly to the ruler of Dubai. The department has been led by Director-General Tarish Eid Al Mansouri since 2014.[1]

Dubai Courts is the main department responsible for the judicial branch of the Emirate of Dubai, and operates independently of the Dubai Public Prosecution, and the Dubai Legal Affairs department which represents the Government of Dubai in legal matters.[2] It has jurisdiction across the Emirate, except for specific free economic zones like the Dubai International Financial Centre which may retain special jurisdiction for commercial and labour matters.
