Roles

I performed the following tasks:

  1. Preparing lectures, which include researching Supreme Court cases and examples of documents and records discussed in the lectures, such as property registration certificates and official gazettes.

  2. Delivering lectures.

  3. Attending additional meetings with students to re-explain difficult concepts.

  4. Invigilating exams.

  5. Participating in exam committees.

  6. Completing graduation affidavits as additional work alongside studying and exams at the college.

  7. Reviewing appeals and grievances and re-evaluating students’ papers.

  8. Preparing exam questions.

Careers

I started working as a Teaching Assistant in the Faculty of Law at the university. Following obtaining a master's degree, I was appointed as a Lecturer. Then, I resumed work as a Senior Lecturer after obtaining a PhD. 

Research Interests

Based on my interest in intellectual property rights, which was part of my master’s thesis, and stemming from my doctoral dissertation that dealt with online contracts, I continued researching electronic contracts made with performers. A new type of contract has emerged where performers contract with websites to sell their performance rights for a nominal fee, even though their performance may end up being sold for thousands or millions of dollars. In these contracts, performers waive their intellectual property rights, which reflects significant material unfairness that may qualify the performer to annul the contract according to the traditional concept of substantive unfairness in civil law.

External Activities

Evaluating research papers in English.
