Scientific research at the Faculty of Legal Studies is no longer merely an academic requirement for completing studies; it has become the cornerstone of developing legal knowledge, fostering legislative innovation, and solidifying the principles of justice and the rule of law. In light of the rapid transformations the world is witnessing, particularly in the era of artificial intelligence and digital transformation, scientific research occupies a pivotal position in all academic programs, with its impact being even more pronounced in postgraduate programs.

First: The Undergraduate Stage (Foundation Stage)

The student’s research journey begins in their early years of study through academic assignments, class research projects, and projects in general and specialized courses. This contributes to developing critical thinking and legal analysis skills, enhancing the ability to gather, evaluate, and utilize information and evidence according to sound methodological principles.

This stage culminates in the preparation of the graduation thesis, which represents the practical application of the legal knowledge and skills the student has acquired, qualifying them to move to more advanced stages of scientific research and postgraduate studies.

 Second: Master’s and Doctoral Stages (Knowledge Production and Innovation Stage)

Scientific research in graduate programs is the cornerstone of the academic process. These programs are built upon advanced research methodologies and modern applications of artificial intelligence, enhancing the use of digital technologies in the fields of legal studies, public and private law, constitutional and administrative law, and legislative drafting.

This stage aims to empower researchers to produce original knowledge, offer scientific solutions to contemporary legal, legislative, and societal issues, and contribute to the development of the legal system at both the theoretical and applied levels.

Theses and Academic Publications:

The master’s thesis and doctoral dissertation represent the culmination of a student’s research journey. They are expected to make an original scholarly contribution that enriches legal jurisprudence, offers innovative solutions to legislative and societal issues, or develops professional and judicial practices in their respective fields of specialization.

Based on the Faculty’s commitment to quality standards and research excellence, it requires graduate students to publish scholarly research in internationally peer-reviewed and indexed legal journals as a graduation requirement. This contributes to the dissemination of knowledge on a global scale and enhances the academic and research standing of Stardom University.

The Faculty’s Vision for Scientific Research:

The Faculty of Legal Studies views scientific research as an integrated system that begins with a legal idea developed by an undergraduate student in one of their courses and culminates in a rigorous scholarly research paper published by a doctoral candidate in a prestigious scientific journal. This research becomes a genuine contribution to human and legal knowledge and an effective tool for establishing justice, serving society, and achieving sustainable development.

The Stardom Journal of Legal and Political Studies plays a leading role in serving society and environmental issues through well-established, integrated approaches. The first approach involves launching intensive legal and environmental awareness campaigns to disseminate legal culture and address contemporary challenges such as cybercrime and climate change. The second approach is the organization of mock trials as a pivotal tool for bridging the gap between theory and practice, honing students’ advocacy skills, and raising public awareness of fair trial procedures. The third approach involves activating legal clinics to provide free consultations and support to those in need and engaging researchers in addressing real-world cases. These activities collectively contribute to strengthening institutional partnerships, consolidating the values ​​of the rule of law and social justice, and effectively achieving environmental and social sustainable development goals.

Community Service and Environmental Affairs

The Faculty of Legal Studies’ mission extends beyond theoretical teaching and academic research to serve as an active bridge to the community and the surrounding environment. This is based on the pivotal role of law in protecting individual rights, establishing social justice, and ensuring the sustainability of resources for future generations. This community and environmental partnership is embodied through a range of practical and applied activities, most notably:

1- Legal and Environmental Awareness Campaigns: Organizing field and educational seminars to disseminate legal culture, combat cybercrime, introduce environmental legislation, and support the Sustainable Development Goals.

2- Moot Courts: Live simulations of court sessions to hone students’ legal and practical skills and familiarize the public with the nature of litigation procedures in contemporary cases.

3- Legal Clinics: Providing free legal consultations and support to the most vulnerable groups and engaging students in dealing with real-life cases to instill a sense of social responsibility.

These activities collectively contribute to strengthening institutional partnerships and advancing the Faculty’s mission in a way that serves the nation and society according to the highest standards of quality and excellence.
