Abstract :
[en] This entry provides a detailed description and assessment of the Mixed Courts of Egypt (1875-1949), the most famous of the mixed courts of the colonial era. Established as an alternative to consular courts, the Mixed Courts of Egypt were formally Egyptian domestic courts, but had a foreign-majority bench and the mission to guarantee the treaty-based rights of foreigners against any possible infringements from the Egyptian State.
