Mamdouh Marei (1938–2018) was an Egyptian jurist who served as the minister of justice in the period 2006–2011 just before the Arab Spring.
[1] In August 2006 he was appointed justice minister, replacing Mahmoud Abul Leil in the post.
[4] In 2007 thirty female judges were assigned to the courts which was the first massive appointment of women jurists in Egypt.
[5] It was a result of Marei's and Mokbel Shakir's, head of the Supreme Judicial Council, support for the female jurists.
[3] Marei died on 7 October 2018 at age 80, and the same day funeral prayers were held at Al Mowasah Mosque in Alexandria.
