“I feel that mooting is the closest thing you can get to the platonic ideal of being a lawyer.

Students learn to get their point across, to raise extremely complex legal arguments and to write world-class legal documents. They interact with colleagues coming from different legal cultures and find common ground amongst our human rights heritage.

I hope that my assistance helps bring out the best in my students. All the results that bring so much joy to our colleagues and professors are first and foremost theirs.”
