Wajdi Mallat ((アラビア語:وجدي ملاّط)) (November 22, 1919 – April 17, 2010) was a Lebanese jurist, statesman and author. He was the first president of the Constitutional Council (Arabic المجلس الدستوري) of Lebanon, from 1994 to 1997. He resigned from the Council over the handling of the parliamentary elections of 1996. ==Early years== Born on November 22, 1919, Wajdi Mallat was the scion of a family of poets from the city of Baabda, the capital of Ottoman Mount Lebanon. His uncle Tamer (1856–1914), a judge during the Ottoman era, was a well-known poet who stood publicly against the arbitrariness and corruption of Wasa Basha (Arabic واصا باشا), the plenipotentiary governor of Mount Lebanon.〔Tamer Mallat's verses on Wasa Basha (ruled 1883-1892) are celebrated to date in Lebanon as the expression of courage in the face of corruption: "They say: Wasa has passed away, I responded, for I knew/Let coins ring off the marble of his grave, and I guarantee you he will come back to life." The verses, said upon Wasa's death in 1892, appear in the Diwan of the two brother poets, ''Diwan al-Mallat'', Al-matba'a al-adabiyya, Beirut 1925, p.17. On 19 April 2010, the Lebanese daily al-Nahar's obituary of Wajdi Mallat concluded with the last verse, and the elegy of Amal Haddad, the president of the Beirut bar association started with reference to the verses.〕 His mother, Marie Checrallah, hailed from a family of physicians educated in Constantinople. His father, Shibli (1875–1961), was celebrated as the "Poet of the Cedars" (Arabic شاعر الأرز) in Cairo and Alexandria, Baghdad, Damascus, Aleppo and Haifa, and entertained close friendships across the region, from then Emir Abdallah of Transjordan (later King Abdullah I of Jordan) to the first president of independent Lebanon, Bechara El-Khoury.〔See the poems said on the various occasions in Shibli Mallat, ''Diwan'' (part 2), Beirut 1952, pp.55-140.〕
