Migration and Refugee Studies Center Organizes Moot Court for Law Students Sana’a University – September 30, 2025‎

Under the auspices of Prof. Mohammed Ahmed Al-Bukhaiti, President of Sana’a University, ‎‎the Migration, Refugee, and IDP Studies Center at the University organized today a ‎specialized training event featuring a moot court on migration and asylum cases. The activity ‎involved students from the Faculty of Sharia and Law and was attended by faculty members ‎as well as legal and humanitarian experts.‎

The moot court aimed to provide students with practical experience in judicial procedures and ‎litigation mechanisms. It also sought to raise awareness of issues related to asylum, ‎displacement, and human rights, thereby linking academic study with real-world practice.‎

During the proceedings, students assumed the roles of judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, ‎witnesses, and defendants, presenting arguments and evidence within a simulated case ‎scenario inspired by real-life cases, ultimately delivering a mock judgment that reflected the ‎principles of justice.‎

Prof. Ahmed Ali Al-Emad, Director of the Center, emphasized, “The moot court represents ‎one of the most effective modern educational methods, enabling students to simulate real ‎legal environments, improve their professional skills, and prepare for careers in fields related ‎to human rights and international humanitarian law.” He praised the students’ outstanding ‎performance, noting that the level they demonstrated “would usually require months of ‎training to achieve,” and described their work as “a legal artwork of which we are all proud.”‎

At the end of the event, Prof. Mohammed Saad Najad, the Dean of the Faculty of Sharia ‎and Law, expressed his gratitude to the Center’s administration for organizing such activities. ‎He affirmed that such activities contribute to promoting a culture of justice and human rights ‎and highlight the pioneering role of the Center at Sana’a University in this field.
