Judicial Employees Day is observed in Turkmenistan every July 5 as a professional holiday dedicated to individuals working within the country's judicial system. This holiday was established following a decree by President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow in October 2017, which included a list of non-bank holidays and professional days. The judicial power in Turkmenistan is managed by the Supreme Court and various other courts, including arbitration and commercial courts, as outlined in the nation's legislation. The Supreme Court, the highest judicial authority, oversees all legal proceedings, and its president is appointed by the president of Turkmenistan. As of 2018, Klychmurad Khallyev held the position of President of the Supreme Court. Judicial Employees Day serves to recognize the contributions of those involved in maintaining the rule of law and administering justice in Turkmenistan.
