Dr. Anwar emphasized the value of Suood's recent publication for law students within the Maldives, highlighting its potential benefits.

The event saw the presence of notable figures within the Maldivian legal community, including Chief Justice Mu’uthasim Adhnan, fellow Supreme Court justices, Civil Court judges, and legal practitioners.
At the ceremony, Suood highlighted the importance of authoring legal books and added that it was important for legal review works. He also spoke about the importance of archiving landmark cases and case laws, which is a practice in several developed countries.

“I wish to see others authoring their own books as well,” Suood said.
