In a unique educational experience, a group of law students from Gulf University visited the House of Representatives, where they had a special session with the Financial Committee. This practical activity, part of the “Economy and Society” course taught by Dr. Shafiq Al-Samarrai, was designed to provide students with an up-close look at how parliamentary committees function and their role in shaping financial and economic policies.
During the session, students observed the committee’s workflow and engaged by asking insightful questions related to the topics discussed, broadening their knowledge and understanding of financial legislation and its impact on society and the economy. The session also gave them a rare opportunity to meet with committee members directly, discussing the current challenges facing the country.
Dr. Shafiq Al-Samarrai, who accompanied the students on this visit, expressed his satisfaction with this opportunity, noting that “real-world experiences are an essential part of students’ education, deepening their understanding of complex issues that require balanced legal and economic interventions.”
The students, in turn, were highly impressed by this educational experience, emphasizing the positive impact it had on their deepened understanding of the role they can play as future legal professionals in shaping the nation’s economic future.
This visit represents a significant step in Gulf University’s commitment to providing practical and progressive legal education that meets the demands of the job market and ensures a successful professional future for its students, contributing to societal advancement.
