Avv. Kaoutar Badrane

The first woman of Moroccan origin to graduate in Law in Italy, according to the account published by the University of Trento. It was she who proposed, in Rabat, the creation of an international network of jurists and lawyers, and who gave effect to it by founding AGAMI.

Since then she has developed activities in comparative law and legal, judicial and institutional cooperation between Italy and Morocco, progressively extended to the Mediterranean, to Africa and to the European dimension.

Four areas of cooperation

Justice and law

AGAMI promotes dialogue between legal systems through comparative law, judicial cooperation, legal-profession training and exchange among judges, lawyers and jurists.

Institutions, universities and research

The network connects institutions, universities, professionals and civil society to build cooperation between Italy and Morocco and, progressively, between Europe, Africa and the Mediterranean.

Economy and business

The connecting experience built up over the years is applied to economic relations too, through chambers of commerce, delegations, missions, partnerships and business matching.
