This initiative was organized in line with the University’s vision of integrating modern technologies into the educational process and its commitment to equipping students with the knowledge and skills needed to keep pace with the rapid developments in legal professions and the digital labor market. It was also held within the framework of the “Tamayouz Project,” implemented by the Sharek Youth Forum, which aims to provide Palestinian youth with high-quality training programs that enhance their competitiveness in the job market.

The Summer School addressed key themes at the intersection of artificial intelligence and law, including: an introduction to AI—its concept, origins, and evolution; the impact of smart technologies on the development of legal systems and legal professions; prompt engineering and its applications in summarizing, analyzing, and drafting legal texts; practical applications of AI in legal research and analysis; intellectual property and data protection in the age of AI; and the legal and ethical challenges surrounding the use of these technologies locally and globally. Sessions also included practical training on résumé writing and presentation skills using AI tools.

The training was led by a group of distinguished professors and experts, including Dr. Alaa Al-Dweikat, Dr. Zeena Mardawi, Dr. Zuheir Khlaif, Dr. Diana Faour, and Dr. Ali Sartawi, in addition to Mr. Bilal Al-Ashqar, Ms. Amal Abu Zant, and Engineer Walid Abu Zeina.

The sessions were marked by strong student engagement and featured hands-on exercises on using AI tools in legal drafting, preparing studies, and enhancing research and presentation skills.

Dr. Noor Adas, Dean of the Faculty, affirmed that the Summer School represents a pioneering step in bridging legal education with technological innovation. She emphasized that preparing a generation of legal professionals capable of engaging with AI tools is an investment in the future. She added that this initiative reflects the commitment of both the Faculty and the Sharek Youth Forum to supporting Palestinian youth and equipping them with the skills necessary to meet the challenges of the digital age, highlighting the importance of sustaining such programs to prepare future leaders.

By hosting this initiative, the Faculty of Law and Political Science at An-Najah has taken an important step toward linking legal education with innovation, underscoring its leadership role in developing specialized programs that strengthen students’ capacities and enhance their presence in both academic and professional arenas.
