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.”
