School Mock Court Case Project

We are delighted to invite senior students in Scotland to apply to join Scotland’s delegation at the International Moot Court 2025, taking place from 25 November to 2 December 2025 in Câmpulung Muscel, Romania.

This exciting international event brings together high school students from across the world to debate and develop their understanding of international law. It promotes civic education, human rights, the rule of law, and international justice, while also offering the chance to exchange ideas and gain valuable intercultural experience.

All accommodation, meals, local transport, excursions, museum visits, and conference materials in Romania will be covered by the organisers.

Participants will need to pay for travel to and from Câmpulung Muscel, along with a participation fee. We will confirm the exact amount shortly.

While this invitation is open to all senior students in Scotland, priority will be given to those who have taken part in the Mock Court programme.

Participation in this event requires consent from the school and the student’s parent, guardian, or responsible adult.

To express your interest or ask any questions, please email [email protected] by 15 October 2025.

The School Mock Court Case Project is collaborating with James Young High School on an initiative to create access to legal studies for students while still in school. This partnership aims to support young learners in developing essential legal skills and exploring future opportunities.

As the project continues to take shape, we look forward to sharing more updates in the coming months.

Our role goes beyond simply replicating the legal system—it's about igniting curiosity and fostering confidence in the next generation of thinkers and leaders.

We're excited to share a special video featuring the inspiring students of The James Young High School. In this video, they share their thoughts on participating in the Mock Court project and highlight the importance of extracurricular activities in shaping their educational journey.
