    "content": "the National Assembly, so that you understand how concurrent jurisdictions over Bills are undertaken where a matter falls both before the National Assembly and eventually before the Senate. Every law student needs to appreciate the practical nature of the practical processes that Bills follow before they are enacted into law. Out there, when the law is unconstitutional, we often wait until laws are enacted by the Houses of Parliament before we challenge them in court. The good measure is that the students will have an opportunity, first, to both understand the process of the Senate and then secondly, when they eventually become advocates, to understand the processes that they use to go to court and to deal with petitions at that level. In the Senate, we also have Petitions and Statements as you have heard read this afternoon. Statements inform the public on various public issues and enable investigations to be undertaken on matters that are raised on the Floor of the Senate."
