Law Department lecturer at the University of Human Development, Tahsin Hama-Gharib, has been practicing a new teaching method with his students for some time. The method primarily focuses on teaching the Principles of Law, a subject covered in Year 1, through narratives and stories performed by two actors. Mr Hama-Gharib has extensively written about this new approach in a novel titled ‘Lawa’, which is now printed and available for circulation.

In his book, Mr Hama-Gharib creates two characters: Lawa, a freshman studying law, and his teacher, Doctor Shaduman. Lawa discusses the content of the book, the Principles of Law, along with his classmates and their teacher, exchanging ideas about it. Their discussions take place in the form of stories and accounts, and they share those narratives with their families and friends outside the university.

The author of the novel states that the new method has been very rewarding for him, and he has found that it works well for the subject and the students. One day, he humorously asked his students to leave a seat in the back of the classroom for Lawa so he could join them in class.
