Program Highlight:
Three + Three – B.A. + J.D. Program

The Three + Three Program offers students an opportunity to earn a combined Bachelor’s Degree and Juris Doctor Degree. The Accelerated Law Program allows students to graduate with a Bachelor’s degree and Juris Doctor degree in six years instead of the traditional seven years.

Dr. Ibrahim H. Alharbi, a 2025 graduate of our J.S.D. Program in Intercultural Human Rights, has just been appointed as Head of Intellectual Property Policy Studies of the Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property (SAIP). In this important role, Dr. Alharbi oversees strategic policy analysis, legislative reviews, and international coordination on intellectual property matters - an area that has always been close to his heart, and that he developed in his doctoral dissertation.

Writing to Professor Roza Pati and Professor Siegfried Wiessner, he noted: “I wanted to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude for your continued guidance and mentorship throughout my doctoral journey. Your support has been invaluable, and this career milestone is very much a reflection of the foundation you have helped me build.”

Professor Keith R. Fisher participated in an International Judicial Exchange in Athens, Delphi, and Thessaloniki, organized by the Judicial Branch Education Academy.

Highlights included a roundtable with the Greek Council of State, where American and Greek judges discussed ethics, social media, public trust, and judicial independence. Professor Fisher presented on judicial selection systems in the United States, highlighting the contrasts with Greece’s approach and sparking reflection on how structure and process shape public trust. Also in attendance from the College of Law was Professor Colleen O’Toole.

The U.S. judicial delegation also met with the Areios Pagos (Supreme Court of Greece) and the Court of Audits in Athens. In Thessaloniki, they made presentations at the Aristotle University School of Law and the Hellenic National School of the Judiciary, where Professor Fisher taught an audience of both new and experienced judges about artificial intelligence and social media in the courts.
