COMPETITIONS

As a committee for aspiring barristers, mooting is important to help prepare the aspiring barristers in our society for future legal practise. This year, despite the ongoing pandemic, we have provided a large array of mooting activities for our committee members and have seen great success in similar advocacy competitions as well as intervarsity initiatives. We have also collaborated closely with the Mooting Society at the University of Nottingham to facilitate better mooting opportunities this academic year for our students due to the impact of the pandemic on many opportunities. Listed below are just some of the many competitions we have organised for our committee members for the 2020/2021 academic year:
