01 / ABOUT ME
Rooted in law. Open to learning.
I’m Md Ariful Islam, a fourth-year LL.B. student in my first semester at Sylhet International University. My academic interests include constitutional law, criminal law, human rights, cyber law and AI regulation.
I believe legal learning grows richer when it connects with other fields. I am curious about AI, technology and new ideas, and want to understand how they relate to law and people’s lives. Alongside this broad curiosity, I aim to develop depth through careful study and research.
In July 2026, I presented my work at NICSDG-2026 as its sole author and presenter. This portfolio brings together my academic journey, conference participation and learning in progress.
Also known as Mohammad Arif.

A BELIEF THAT GUIDES MY LEARNING
“A lawyer should know something about everything and everything about something.”
For me, this means staying curious across disciplines while building depth in law.
