Attention first-years:

The Justice Sir Robert Chambers First Year Moot is here ⚖️

This moot is a great opportunity for Part I law students to develop their mooting ability and get feedback before their compulsory Part II moots. Mooters will be assigned a senior law student to help answer any questions they have regarding mooting.

If that didn’t convince you, there is also a prize pool of $3000!!

• Sign-ups close | 17 September 5pm
• Preliminary round | 29 September
Quarters | 02 October

REGISTRATION WILL BE BASED ON A BALLOT SYSTEM:

There are 96 places (48 pairs), the first 24 pairs will be on a first-come, first-served basis and the remaining 24 pairs will be selected at random. You can sign up as a team, or individually - we’ll do our best to pair you up 👥
