Abdulrahman Alkanhal : Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, LL.M., 2006
S.J.D. Program, Indiana University School of Law – Indianapolis

I had practiced law for three years before joining the LL.M program at Wake Forest. My goals in attending Wake Forest Law School were to gain an American perspective of the law and to fully experience a different legal environment. Studying at Wake gave me the opportunity to interact with students from diverse legal backgrounds and cultures – all providing me with a broader understanding of the world.

The flexibility of Wake’s program allowed me to choose from an extensive curriculum, and the reputation of the program facilitated my attaining a valuable internship position. Additionally, Wake’s faculty, staff and student body enhanced my experience in North Carolina. The LL.M program administration was particularly exceptional – prior to my matriculation at Wake Forest, during my time at the school, and following my graduation.  They have always been extremely supportive, understanding and well-prepared to help each individual student attain their academic and professional goals.

Currently, I am pursing an S.J.D. at Indiana University School of Law. The coursework and legal writing and research skills I learned at Wake Forest have undoubtedly prepared me well for this endeavor. What I gained from Wake Forest was more than a degree – I gained experiences and friendships that will last a lifetime.

Hussein Abu El Hawa : East Jerusalem, Palestine, LL.M., 2008
Hussein Abu El Hawa Legal Practice

Upon his return to Palestine, Mr. Abu El Hawa and other U.S. graduates were asked by an American judge to develop a legal writing course that will be taught at Palestinian law schools. Mr. Abu El Hawa reports that “while working on my part I used to recall all the comments I received from Dean Montaquila and Prof. John Korzen (his WFU faculty advisor) while teaching me Legal Writing and Research for International Lawyers and Business Drafting.” He continues, “I have to admit that without my experience at Wake I would have never been able to experience new paths in my career, despite litigation I am now working in the educational and political field.”

Bader AlGhanem : Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, LL.M., 2009
Counselor, Bureau of Experts, Council of Ministers

My LL.M. degree from Wake Forest University School of Law gave me an opportunity to learn about the American legal system.  I was fascinated by the differences between the legal analysis in Saudi Arabia and the legal analysis in the United States.  I am already using what I have learned at Wake Forest in my job.  It’s made me more knowledgeable on important subjects.  As a result, I progressed in my work and now hold the title of Counselor at the Bureau of Experts at the Council of Ministers.

Aziz Al-Suhaibani: Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, LL.M., 1999
Legal Department, Saudi Arabian Fund for Development

The LLM Director and other faculty members always provided great support and help in order to achieve my ultimate goal. I have told some of my colleagues that if there is a remarkable success in my life, there is no doubt that Wake Forest University has a great part in it. Since I joined the Institute of Public Administration, I have been teaching and training. I teach a group of students (35) who want to gain a Masters Degree in Saudi Arabian law. In addition, I work as trainer to government employees in the field of the administrative law and administrative contracts. As a faculty member, I do research and legal opinions for the benefit of other government agencies.

Ammar Abdullah Jastaniah: Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, LL.M., 2004
AAJ Law Firm and founding The Executive Training Firm

Being a vital person in this world is my aspiration, but the question of how to be that person was an exhaustive one. However, in Wake Forest University School of Law, I met an excellent group of people, professors, staff, students, and from all of them I have learned that being a successful and professional law man is the instrument to my aspiration. In Wake Forest Law, I recognized the meaning of being a creative lawyer; moreover, I have understood that nothing succeeds like success.

I think always about WFU days, I have learned a lot of essential matters, not just about law, about life and culture.
