of Law Perceptions of Gulf Cooperative Council (GCC) Graduating Law Students  \nBy Thomas Philip Corbin Jr 􀀍  \nRichard Maguire 􀀍􀀍  \nLaw students studying in Gulf Cooperative Council’s (GCC) comparative law programs will provide excellent candidates for legal employment in the Middle East in the next couple of years as long as the students have high educational achievements, are functionally literate in both English and Arabic and have a firm belief in the Rule of Law. As many comparative law programs now exist in the GCC, programs conducting the instruction in English to students whose native language is Arabic and with high academic performance gauged by grades, the only true question comes down to the fundamental understanding of the Rule of Law and the optimistic belief that the Rule of Law will lead to changes in the employment of law students after graduation. To measure this knowledge and belief, a survey was given to a pool of law students ata GCC institution to gauge their understanding of the Rule of Law and their belief in the concept as a force of change in their own personal situations. The results and analysis are contained within this paper. Purpose Statement: The purpose of this project suggested by Dr. Thomas Corbin and supported by Dr. Richard Maguire is to gauge the personal belief in the Rule of Law as a concept of significance in the advancements of career goals in male and female law graduates. This project’s initial review will act as a sounding board for future review of the belief of the Rule of Law in other groups of students.  \nIntroduction  \nThe New Need for Competent Adherents to the Rule ofLaw in the Gulf’s Legal Market  \nIn the coming years, the need for bi-lingual (English-Arabic) competent lawyers and law related professions will be the exception to the general notion that the legal career has reached a saturation point (Greenbaum 2010) . The need for skilled attorneys with the language skills and the skills to understand comparative law issues today is a big concern to consider with a new batch of legal trainees that are being developed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and  \n􀀍Assistant Professor, Prince Mohammed Bin Fahd University, Saudi Arabia.  \n􀀍􀀍Assistant Professor, Prince Mohammed Bin Fahd University, Saudi Arabia.  \n[https://doi.org/10.30958/aje.1-2-5](https://doi.org/10.30958/aje.1-2-5) doi=10.30958/aje.1-2-5  \nwithin the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) . It is hypothesized that a group of high performing students engaged in comparative law and business law programs will be ideal candidates for employment if they are keenly aware of the rule of law as a concept, are willing to relocate within the Gulf for employment and can translate high performance in the classroom into the workplace.  \nThe potential student who is engaged in the legal programs will be a great fit to work in the Gulf as they already speak the languages of trade, are personally concerned with the advancement of rule of law generally, and are concerned with fairness in the region. A survey conducted and reviewed has shown that, as a result of this interest, many of these qualifiers are existent in current students. As such, the concern exists as to their motivation to carry forward their academic success to the workforce while understanding the concept of the Rule of Law and being optimistic about it. Specifically, the very reason why they will be dynamic is because of the perception that they were incapable of working in the field up until recently because of cultural and Islamic religious values.  \nThis perception that certain segments of the society were not able to compete or work in many fields of employment, including the law, is being challenged by motivated students at a couple of institutions in Saudi Arabia and GCC that believe that the motivated people, regardless of gender or other status, can be a staple contributor to the workforce and excel.
