The Moot Team advances to the semi-finals of the 15th LWASIA International Moot Competition and congratulations to Aneezia for the Best Mooter Award

15 Oct 2020 - 18 Oct 2020

The 15th LAWASIA International Moot Competition was held virtually on Zoom from 16th to 18th October 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Department of Law and Business Moot Team (“the Team”) participated in this competition and advanced to the semi-finals.

The Team is made up of four students: Aneezia (Year 4), Cheng Chun Him, Chris (Year 2) and Chen Jinyu, Bella (Year 2), and the researcher, Rai Sumi (Year 3). After four preliminary rounds competing against teams from Malaysia, Japan and Singapore, the Team advanced to the semi-finals. All four teams in the semi-finals were top quality contenders. They focused on making every effort to enter the finals. During the semi-finals, the Team continued to perform well despite being up against one of the toughest moot teams from Singapore. Ultimately, although the Team missed out on a place in the finals, it won the opponents’ respect. Moreover, Aneezia also won the third best mooter award.

 

The Team’s impressive performance was a true team effort. We congratulate our team of young mooters on their success and wish them continued growth as students of the law and future legal professionals.

LAWASIA國際模擬法庭競賽是由LAWASIA組織的年度國際模擬法庭競賽,該國際組織主要由律師協會,律師,法官和學者組成。爭議問題從國際人權到國際商業仲裁,不一而足,比賽地點在與年度LAWASIA大會同時舉行的LAWASIA成員國之間輪換。而今年,受新冠疫情的影響,原定於蒙古舉行的比賽改為線上舉行。

回顧近兩個月的備賽歷程,帶隊老師與隊員們都全身心投入其中。自8月底以來,在老師的帶領下,隊員們利用課餘時間投入比賽,閱讀案件、梳理案情、利用學校所提供的資源進行法律檢索、準備文書寫作與口頭文稿。並且在10月進行了為期2周的集中訓練,在這期間,老師同隊員們不斷修改精進手頭的資料、進行大量問答練習,除此之外,還邀請指導隊員們的模擬訓練。隊員們耐心聽取建議,認真梳理案件爭議點,積極思考與本案相關的法學問題。

本次比賽磨練了隊員們的意志,增進隊員們友誼的同時亦提高了團隊凝聚力,展現了我校學子的風采。我校隊員們在於其他知名法學院校交流的過程中,也提高了法律素養及思辨能力。
