At IIUM over the past 15 years or so, I have had the privilege of supervising PhD and Master theses and dissertations and working with dozens of postgraduate students (all in legal studies, except one in ICT) from various countries. Many of them are now back in their home countries pursuing diverse professions, including university professors, legal fraternities, cyberlaw consultants, and government officers – together they form the NextGen intellectuals.
Here is the list of those bright minds:
