This paper attempts to examine and analyse both the appointment and dismissal of Muslim judges from the historical perspective of academic qualification. The focus of this piece of research is the practice of the judiciary in Egypt during the Abbasid period (132-254/750-868). The main references are Wakī‛’s Akhbār al-Quḍāt and al-Kindī’s Kitāb Wulāt Miṣr. These books are highly original and relatively comprehensive and offer fairly detailed information on issues pertaining to both the appointment and dismissal of judges particularly in early Islamic history of Egypt. The profile of each and every judge is scrutinised to appreciate reasons leading to both their appointment and dismissal. The finding of the research might be useful to understanding judicial practices and their relation to the profession or qualification scheme which was followed at that point in time.
