Past Editions

Over the years, the International Moot Court Competition in Law & Religion has brought together students, scholars and legal practitioners from universities across the world to engage with some of the most complex questions arising at the intersection of law, religion and fundamental rights. 

The Competition has been held in different locations and academic settings, with the involvement of universities and institutions from different countries, gradually building an international community around the study of law and religion. Across successive editions, participating teams have been called upon to address a common hypothetical case through the distinct legal frameworks of the European Court of Human Rights and the Supreme Court of the United States, developing their arguments through both written submissions and oral advocacy. 

The Competition has thus become a distinctive forum for comparative legal reasoning, international academic exchange and advocacy, with particular attention to the protection of freedom of thought, conscience and religion and to non-discrimination on grounds of religion or belief. 

This section brings together materials and resources from previous editions, offering an overview of the Competition’s development over time.
