Law Student Competitions

Law competitions include moot courts, negotiation challenges, essay prizes and international arbitration simulations judged by sitting judges, QCs and law firm partners. They develop advocacy, legal research and argumentation skills while exposing you to areas of law outside your taught curriculum. Winners receive pupillage enquiries, scholarship referrals and direct contact with chambers and international law firms. These competitions are among the most direct routes from law school to top-tier practice, particularly for students without existing professional networks.
