[GA - WITHDRAWN] World Assembly Jurisprudence Studies

---

Believing it is in the interest of any being or entity to know itself and to reflect upon its nature critically, and thus desiring to give the students of member nations both present and future the ability to understand the World Assembly academically, and be aware of its influence and role in the international community as attendees of national or international law schools; and

Recognising the work of previously passed legislation that ensures the inhabitants of member nations receive the opportunity to learn more about those resolutions that impact them, yet confident that there remains ample room to further the consolidation of knowledge about the World Assembly and how it operates;

The World Assembly hereby:

1. Establishes the academic trajectory World Assembly Jurisprudence Studies (from here on WAJS) intended for the curricula of all tertiary educational facilities and institutions in the field of law studies, that shall aim to impart the following knowledge to its students:
   • The general history of the World Assembly, from its founding to its role in the international community in the present; and
   • The manner in which the World Assembly and its committees function; and
   • An understanding of World Assembly law, how it is written, how it functions and what its impact is on member nations; and
   • The process of debating and voting in the World Assembly, which shall include simulated debates and votes;
2. Instructs member states, and any of their departments, to devise and implement WAJS educational trajectories in facilities and institutions that qualify as tertiary education, and where the study of law and jurisprudence is at the core of the educational programming;
3. Specifies that these WAJS educational trajectories are to be divided into the following two categories:
   • Undergraduate WAJS courses at three levels of difficulty, namely basic, intermediate and advanced, where these courses shall be a mandatory element of every law student's curriculum at the basic and intermediate levels, while the advanced level shall be mandatory for students whose specialisation in the law studies is a domain that is influenced by WA law, and an elective in all other cases; and
   • A postgraduate WAJS specialisation trajectory that can be followed by students who have obtained an undergraduate degree in law studies, and who wish to specialise themselves in World Assembly jurisprudence at a higher level of tertiary education;
4. Declares that students who follow an academic trajectory as specified by Clause 1, be it at undergraduate or postgraduate level, can follow internships at the World Assembly and at World Assembly-related national government bodies in member states, to allow them to gain practical experience that may help them to satisfactorily complete their education, yet requires:
   • that these shall be paid internship positions, or that these interns will have their expenses compensated in the form of a stipend at least; and
   • that the candidates for these internship positions shall be selected by fair yet demanding academic competition that the member nations are free to give shape to;
5. Strongly urges member nations to prioritise students with postgraduate degrees in the WAJS educational trajectories when hiring new staff members for World Assembly-related government organisations and institutions.

Weak for but to be honest I don't care either way. Sticking a couple of additional seminars into an LLB / LLM (in the UK) or say a JD (in the US) seems mostly harmless but also probably pretty useless.

They should make it compulsory to run a course on "how to rack up billable hours" instead, at least it helps them to pay off their student loans.

Against. I dont think WA should require a cirriculum about the WA.

My first reaction upon submission is confusion. Sure, we have passed laws encouraging education in various aspects. But does the WA need to sanction a course about WA laws? Where lays the purpose in that?
GA#442 already helps to ensure that the relevant WA laws are spread and the members of the WA nations are well informed about such laws. I wouldn't consider this duplication, but honestly that proposal already provides enough in terms of ensuring that people understand about the laws in the WA resolutions. Do we serious need this anymore? Good idea, but really, I find the idea to be rather ridiculous. Hard Against from me.

Law students are the future of the national judiciaries of member nations. They're going to lead it as lawyers, judges, prosecutors etc. etc., and considering how many areas and domains of law as well as daily life are affected by the World Assembly, they will need quality expertise and knowledge on the World Assembly and its inner functioning. This resolution proposal will grant those law students that knowledge more easily through the WAJS courses as a dedicated educational trajectory, as well as enable them to follow internships to gain practical experience for the future.

In the real world, law schools across Europe have courses and academic trajectories on European law and the functioning of of European Union to ensure that their law students will be able to lead the judiciaries of their home countries in the future according to the laws and agreements of the Union. The same can be achieved with dedicated WAJS educational trajectories in law schools across the member nations of the WA, considering the vast scope and magnitude of World Assembly law.

For these reasons, I would humbly ask you to consider (or reconsider) a vote 'for' this resolution proposal. After all, one of the Delphic maxims inscribed above the temple of Apollo sounded "know thyself". This is the opportunity for the World Assembly to continue to study and understand itself academically.

I genuinely believe a resolution proposal on this topic would be beneficial to the World Assembly, as any being or entity should work to know itself. The academic world is the perfect place to encourage professors and students alike to think critically about the World Assembly and its functioning. Having a dedicated educational trajectory like the WAJS can only bring benefit to the quality of education that law students will receive regarding the World Assembly and its functioning.
