Abdel Magid Mahmoud, Former General Attorney, a member of the Advisory Council of the Faculty of Law at the German University in Cairo (GUC) said that the graduates will become distinguished by the skills and curricula they acquire and learn at the GUC.
He pointed out that a database on the graduate must be available in the history of Egyptian universities, saying: "You can not communicate with a graduate unless you have a database about this graduate and this is not found in all Egyptian universities."
"A personal database for each graduate must be designed," Mahmoud added. "It should include the graduate`s study history, research, trends and atmosphere Identify whether he has joined public positions or not, or whether he has joined a job related to his work, such as supervisory and accounting bodies and consulting offices.”
Mahmoud also called for providing training courses for students related to the nature of the work that the graduate of the Faculty of Law will join, or through the graduate studies.
He stressed the need to make an assessment of the student in order to identify his/her weaknesses and strengths, saying: "hence the link between the college and the graduate is strong and it is supposed to evaluate the product of the university to find out weaknesses and strengths.”
"Not only just cases and courts distinguish the graduate of law, but also solving social and economic problems that exist in society," said Mahmoud.
Addressing the fourth edition of the Advisory Council meeting, held in Berlin, Mahmoud stressed that what distinguishes the graduate of law at GUC is contributing to solving economic and social problems and not only to court disputes.
He added: "the use of technology in matters of law has become urgent as well as Artificial Intelligence (AI) in judgments." "Now you have a robot that can rule and form cases."
"The future will not deal with human beings, it must keep pace with technological development, paying attention to digital transformation," Mahmoud said.
"The curriculum related to digital transformation should not be optional at the faculties of law, it should be compulsory. Dealing with human beings is almost non-existent in the profession of justice in some countries,” he said. “We should pay attention to digital transformation and the use of modern technology in judicial studies from the reality of the work imposed by it. The study of law is not theoretical but fully applied.”
Noteworthy, the fourth edition of the advisory council of the Faculty of Law and Legal Studies at GUC was held in Berlin at the University's headquarters in Germany. The council includes prominent public figures from Egypt and Germany.
