Minister of Justice Urges Law Graduates to Uphold Integrity and Trustworthiness in Every Workplace - Sarmad
(KUNA) – Justice Minister and Advisor Nasser Al-Sumait urged graduates of the College of Law at Kuwait University on Friday to uphold honesty, integrity, and trustworthiness in all their professional roles, emphasizing that the law is not merely a set of provisions to be memorized, but a conduct practiced and a principle translated into reality.
In a speech delivered at the graduation ceremony for the College of Law students for the 2025-2026 academic year, under his patronage and attendance, Advisor Al-Sumait stated that Kuwait is entering an exceptional phase that requires its sons and daughters to possess awareness and a sense of responsibility.
He added that the state, during this phase, is striving to develop and modernize its legislative framework to keep pace with changes and enhance the efficiency of its institutions, noting that “you are a fundamental part of this phase, given your knowledge, ambition, and ability to contribute to building a more just and stable future.”
Addressing the students, he said, “Your graduation today is not merely the end of an academic stage, but the beginning of a new path with diverse options and trajectories. Some of you will one day assume the bench of the judiciary, others will carry the message of the legal profession, some will pursue postgraduate studies, and others may find themselves not directly linked to the law, yet your legal knowledge will remain the distinguishing mark that sets you apart and empowers you to think clearly and make sound decisions.”
He expressed congratulations and best wishes to the graduating students upon their completion of studies at the College of Law after a journey filled with diligence and perseverance, extending his gratitude and appreciation to all faculty members for their efforts and dedication in educating and training students, as well as to parents for their genuine support of their sons and daughters until they reached this bright moment.
He prayed to God Almighty to grant them success and prosperity in their academic and professional lives, to make success their constant companion, and to protect Kuwait under the leadership of His Highness the Amir of Kuwait, Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, may God protect and guard him, and His Highness the Crown Prince, Sheikh Sabah Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah, may God protect him, and to perpetuate upon it the blessings of security and stability.
