Summary
In 663 AH four judges, one for each of the great legal schools, were appointed in the lands of Egypt. Taj al-Din ibn Bint al-Aʿazz had stopped carrying out many cases, so affairs were at a standstill. Jamal al-Din Aydughdi al-ʿAzizi proposed appointing one judge for each school. The idea pleased Sultan Baybars, who put it into effect at the end of the year, and it was then done in Damascus as well 2.
