All European Final of the European Moot Court Competition takes place at the Court of Justice of the European Union in Luxembourg on 31 March
The European Law Moot Court Competition is the world’s
largest Moot Court in EU Law. Organised for the first time during the 1988-1989
academic year, this competition has as its primary objective to promote
practical knowledge of EU law amongst law students. Law students, who have
already made their way through a tough selection (of around 70 teams) since
September 2016 when the European Law Moot Court Competition was launched, will
plead before panels composed of Members of the Court of Justice and the General
Court.
The competing teams represent seven universities from different
countries. They won their respective Regional Finals which were held in
February 2017 in The Hague (the Netherlands), Paris (France), Naples (Italy)
and Gothenburg (Sweden). Students from all EU member states participated in
this year’s the competition. Students from nonEU countries, notably the USA,
also participated in the Regional Finals.
The final, the last stage of this
competition, has been held at the Court of Justice for the past 26 years. The
winners will receive various prizes, including internships with European
Institutions or highly respected law firms specialising in European law. (curia.europa.eu)
