Interested in competing in a moot court competition here? Of course you are! Then read on!
Team 423 from NYU Law made it to the Quarter-Finals of the Price Media Law Moot Court Competition at Oxford University last year (and knocked out the home team in the process!). We had the BEST time meeting and competing against teams from across the world and exploring an incredible city (read all about our time in Oxford) and we hope that NYU Law can build upon this success in 2016!
The Price Media Law Moot Court Competition is an international moot court competition convened by Oxford University. The competition concerns topical issues in freedom of expression and international law and attracts teams from across the globe. The Americas round will be held in NYC in January and if successful the NYU Law team will proceed to the international rounds, which will be held at Oxford University in March.
We are looking for a team of five people, ideally a mix of JD (1Ls welcome!) and LLM students, who are interested in international law and/or media law. Prior moot court or other public speaking experience is preferred. Preparing for the competition will be a considerable time commitment; however, team members will gain international moot court experience at the highest level and have a really fun time!
More information about the competition can be found here.
If you are interested in participating, please e-mail Ollie Persey (op411@nyu.edu) by September 4, 2015, briefly explaining why you are interested in taking part in the competition and detailing any relevant experience. Also, if you have any questions about the competition, just drop Ollie a line.
Excited to hear from you!
Team 423 (NYU Law Price Team 2014-2015)
