First Graduate of Vulnerability and Human Condition Concentration

June 1, 2012

Bandar Bakhaswin 12L is a lecturer in inter­national private law at King Abdul-Aziz Uni­versity, Saudi Arabia, and the first recipient of Emory Law’s LLM with a concentration in vulnerability and the human condition.

Bandar wrote of his experience: “I have learned a lot and explored many interesting things in my LLM concentration in vulner­ability and the human condition. The program opened my eyes to new ways to look at the rela­tionship of responsibility between the state and its institutions and the individual. I am a lec­turer in international private law and interested in examining international family law from the conflict of laws perspective.

“I have worked under the supervision of pro­fessors Martha Fineman and Barbara Wood­house. They are amazing people to work with and very sophisticated experts in Law. The pro­gram gave me the opportunity to meet and get to know many academic scholars and many in­teresting people. I was amazed with the quality of courses they offer and I enjoyed the series of conferences and workshops held by the Vulner­ability and the Human Condition Initiative. I am honored to be a member of this great com­munity.”
