Adi Al Bitar (Arabic: عدي البيطار) (7 December 1924 – 4 March 1973) was a Palestinian-Jordanian judge, a legal advisor and lawyer who worked all over the Middle East.

His father, Sheikh Nasib Al Bitar’s continuous relocation around Palestine forced him to enroll at the Terra Sancta School in Jerusalem as a boarder.

[1] To help pay for his college fees Bitar worked as a clerk at the Chief Secretary's office in Jerusalem.

[6] During his time with the district attorney's office, Adi took part in the initial hearings of the murder of King Abdullah I of Jordan that occurred on July 20, 1951, in Jerusalem.

It was decided by Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan and Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum during their meeting at the "Abu Dhabi - Dubai" border point at Sumaih, now known as the "Sumaih Meeting", that Adi Bitar should write the constitution.

It was approved and signed by the Rulers of six Emirates in the Dubai Guesthouse Palace on December 2, 1971, the date now celebrated as the UAE National Day.
