Law Students Take 2nd Runner-Up at the SWU BizLaw Challenge 2026
Reflecting students' ability to apply classroom knowledge on a competitive stage, Mr. Preeyathep Romyen ("Non") and Ms. Andaman Sommart ("Anda"), students from the Faculty of Law, won 2nd runner-up in the SWU BizLaw Challenge 2026, a higher-education business law quiz competition organized by the Department of Law, Faculty of Social Sciences, Srinakharinwirot University. The event was designed to give students a chance to test their knowledge and understanding of business law, showcase their academic abilities, and network and exchange experiences with students from other institutions. A total of 17 teams from 17 universities nationwide took part.
A Starting Point That Became a Real Competition
"Joining this competition began when a professor invited interested students to take part. Anda had competed in other events before, while this was Non's first time joining this particular competition. Both admitted to feeling hesitant and unsure at first, since the competition focused on business law — an area different from the legal fields they were more used to — but they decided to step outside their comfort zone and compete together."
Working as a Pair
"Although they already knew each other, this competition marked the first time the two had worked together seriously. They divided responsibilities according to their strengths, with each person handling questions in the areas they had prepared — topics such as the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), public companies, the stock exchange, taxation, and labor law. They also helped each other analyze the questions together. Systematic division of labor and time management during the exam were key factors that made their teamwork go smoothly."
A Pressure-Filled Competition That Led to Victory
"The competition was full of situations that demanded knowledge, precision, and decision-making under time pressure. The pair had to answer 20 multiple-choice questions, and since several teams tied in score, tie-breaker questions were used to determine the winners — and in the end, they successfully won an award. They admitted that at first they hadn't expected to win, since it was a competition they had never entered before and one that included many other universities."
Real-World Experience Beyond the Award
"What they gained wasn't just the award itself, but also experience in applying classroom knowledge to real situations. They learned from their competitors, saw their teammate's strengths, and practiced patience, time management, and teamwork — while also getting the chance to meet students from other universities and build cross-institutional connections.
