10. UPPER YEAR COMPETITIVE MOOT PROGRAM
Participation in a competitive moot is a major opportunity to develop skills, confidence and knowledge. Mooting offers one-on-one intensive coaching and evaluation by peers, faculty members, senior lawyers and the Bench – up to and including the Supreme Court of Canada. The work is tough but extremely satisfying. The competitive aspect brings out the best in participants. Mooting is also a powerful networking opportunity, especially for students interested in specific practice areas. It demonstrates the excellence of our students and our school, and is a significant source of prestige for both.
Further details on the Faculty of Law's Competitive Moot Program can be found here. Students selected to participate in a competitive moot are eligible to register for LAW 598 - Moot Court Competition.
Upon being selected to a team, students must register in LAW 598 using the online registration system prior to the January add/drop deadline. Registration must be accompanied by the submission to Student Services of a completed Moot Competition Registration Form by February 1, with the form available from the online Forms Cabinet on the "Academic Resources" page of the Faculty of Law's website. Late registration will be permitted in cases where the selection to the moot occurs after this deadline.
Due to the scheduling of the Brimacombe Selection Round and/or the timing of the selection process for the moot competitions, registration in LAW 598 cannot occur in the Fall Term.
