Guided by the principle that legal awareness is fundamental to building a healthy and just society, the Faculty of Law organized an academic event titled “Constitutional Law and Democratic Transition: Challenges and Prospects.”
The event featured three specialized lectures delivered by distinguished faculty researchers. Dr. Khaled Mekdad opened the program with a lecture titled “Democratic Transition in Modern Constitutional Thought,” emphasizing the constitution as the primary guarantor of a democratic system. He explained how the distribution and types of power form the core of such a system and addressed key challenges facing democratic transitions.
This was followed by Dr. Basil Harky’s lecture, “A Critical Reading of the Syrian Constitutional Declaration,” which analyzed essential aspects of the declaration, including the state’s structure and Arab identity, as well as the role of religion in legislation and constitutional formation.
Concluding the lecture series, Dr. Jalāl Al-Lail presented on “Constitutional Frameworks for Commercial Legislation: Balancing Free Trade and Public Interest.” He reviewed recent constitutional provisions protecting commercial activities without contradicting the public interest, stressing that priority is given to the public interest in cases of conflict.
The event concluded with a presentation by the Faculty’s student research team, which showcased their latest study titled “Mechanisms for Protecting the Principle of Constitutional Supremacy.” The team outlined key aspects and findings of their research, underscoring the importance of establishing this principle as a cornerstone of the constitutional system.
Held on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, the event was attended by Dr. Mohammad Adel Jawad, University President; Dr. Nihad Haydar, Vice President for Administrative and Student Affairs; Dr. Sondos Yaseen, Head of the Scientific Affairs Council; Dr. Ali Melhem, Dean of the Faculty of Law; along with a number of faculty members, administrative staff, and students
