First-Year Students of Economic Law Attend a Court Trial.

Why should students attend court hearings?

As a student, you receive knowledge through classroom lectures, learning methods, and group assignments; however, these are primarily theoretical. Although we are only first-year students of the Economic Law major, the University and the Faculty have created opportunities for students like us to attend court hearings in order to gain practical knowledge through real cases and trials. Law students, as well as students from other majors, should attend court hearings at least a few times. It is true that studying law does not necessarily mean becoming a lawyer, judge, or prosecutor; nevertheless, attending court hearings helps you put into practice the academic knowledge you have learned at the University. This has a positive impact on you. Moreover, attending court hearings may also help you orient your future career path.

Indeed, as a first-year student who has not yet studied all specialized subjects, attending this court session has helped me outline a plan for the future. After the hearing, I was able to draw practical lessons and gain real-world knowledge, absorb valuable experience, and strive to improve myself. I was also able to develop various skills such as speaking and writing, as well as professional demeanor in my field. This court attendance provided a flexible, dynamic, and creative environment that helped enhance my knowledge. In addition to reinforcing academic knowledge and supporting career orientation, attending a court trial offers another benefit which, in my view, is truly important: it helps you understand the practical application of law in social life.
