LAWS MOOTING COMPETITION
Winners of the 2011 Competition - Lily Harthill and Janathan King at the Grand Final.
The Grand Final of the 2011 Mooting Competition took place in Coopers' Hall on Thursday 7th July at 11am.
The Mooting Competition involved an area of Criminal Law called 'Attempts' which will be the subject of the 2012 Special Study Examination Materials - with some specially developed moot cases. The successful mooting team will need to display teamwork, with creative and analytical legal arguments.
The purpose behind the Mooting Competition is to have some fun, while developing research/analytical skills and thereby establish a detailed understanding of the core elements necessary for the special study examination (which takes place in June).
Please note that all rounds of the 2012 Mooting Competition will be held in the mooting equivalent of the Court of Appeal, with the Semi-Finals and Grand Final held in the UK Supreme Court (see link for information).
