PSU participates in Jessup C. Philip International competition.

PSU participates in Jessup C. Philip International competition.

The College of Law at Prince Sultan University made a significant mark at the Jessup C. Philip International Law competition held in Washington, DC. The 2023 edition witnessed the participation of nearly 600 teams from over 100 jurisdictions, where the PSU Jessup team skillfully represented the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Guided by a distinguished coaching panel consisting of Dr. Enis Omerovic (Associate Professor), Dr. Mahmud Zuhdi (Associate Professor), and Dr. Yusra Al-Shanqityi (Assistant Professor), the team comprised talented individuals: Bnah Alarifi, Hussian Imad Aldeen, and Seba Alfuraih.

The competition spanned from April 8th to 15th, 2023, featuring a multifaceted set of legal issues. The participants adeptly assumed the roles of applicants and respondents, navigating complex scenarios including the interpretation of a peace treaty, the legality of deadly attacks in allegedly occupied territory, treatment of prisoners in armed conflict, legality of unilateral economic sanctions per international law, and the obligations of states in managing and exporting hazardous plastic waste. The team also delved into issues of admissibility and standing in three of the aforementioned areas.

The preparation journey for the PSU Jessup team was a meticulous and comprehensive process spanning eight months. The two crucial stages included rigorous research and focused writing. The research stage aimed to hone the students' skills in conducting legal research, covering Public International Law, International Criminal Law, International Environmental Law, and International Humanitarian Law. The subsequent writing stage emphasized the development of their legal writing skills, a vital component in the competitive arena.

By January 17th, the team had submitted their well-crafted legal memorandum, marking the culmination of months of dedicated effort. Following this, the students engaged in intense oral training sessions in readiness for the oral pleading stage, which unfolded at the prestigious Hyatt Regency Hotel in Washington DC.

The PSU College of Law's exemplary performance in the Jessup 2023 competition not only showcases the institution's commitment to legal education but also underscores the exceptional talents and capabilities of its students and faculty. This achievement reinforces PSU's standing as a formidable force in the realm of international law competitions.

Being an MCL student at PSU has capitalized my education and legal work experience. It gave me the knowledge to learn not only about commercial law, but also about other topics, such as corporate governance, alternative dispute resolutions, international economic law, etc. Being a PSU master student has capitalized my experience as the study is very comfortable, rich in culture and provides an ideal student’s environment. This program gave me the experience to develop my skills from both academic and professional perspectives.

The program gave me a deeper fundamental understanding on how to reflect theoretical knowledge into practice and vice versa. Prior to joining the program, I was hesitant but the balance of the courses and its relevance to market practices have made the challenge enjoyable and enriching. It is an intense journey but for sure rewarding.

I believe that there is no absolute best college ever. However, when I graduated from high school, I only preferred to enroll at PSU because of its good reputation at that time, but when I joined its law program, I discovered that PSU did not only provide me with the legal knowledge, but also they were keen to provide all students with other professional skills which made PSU students better candidates at the market. Its close relationship and open door policy of the faculty enhanced our educational experiences. Joining PSU was and still is one of the best decisions I have ever made.

PSU provided me with a platform to reach my potential and a network that played a vital role in advancing my career and opening up great opportunities to me. Particularly, what distinguishes PSU from other law schools in Saudi Arabia is its strong and well-regarded co-op training program. It helped me bridge the gap between academic education and work experience and was the stepping stone in my career as a transactional lawyer.
