Alfaisal University’s representative team from the College of Law and International Relations showcased incredible skill at the 15th Annual Middle East Willem C. Vis Pre-Moot in Abu Dhabi, advancing to the finals and achieving Second Place amongst 18 participating teams from 11 countries.
Held from February 3-7 in Abu Dhabi, the Pre-Moot took teams of law students through simulations of real-life cases to test their skills, assessed by renowned specialists in the field who offered feedback, advice and encouragement invaluable to the students’ future development. Middle East Vis Pre-Moot proved to be a seedbed for budding dispute resolution leaders in the region, providing a unique formative experience that increases awareness of international commercial arbitration and raises standards of advocacy.
Alfaisal University proudly celebrates the dedication and hard work of the College of Law and International Relations’ representative team, who received high praise from the assessing faculty. Notably, two of our talented students stood out as Best Oralists —Ms. Nora Alobaikan (2nd Best Oralist) and Ms. Asiya A. Bashiti (4th Best Oralist)—receiving postgraduate scholarships to the University of Pittsburgh for their stellar performance.
This success is a testament to the quality of practical training and rigorous legal education at Alfaisal’s College of Law and International Relations. As the latest addition to the University’s distinguished roster of colleges, the College of Law and International Relations is already making a significant impact and is set to graduate its first cohort this year, marking a new chapter in Alfaisal’s legacy of academic excellence.
