Young Lawyers' Mooting Competition 2017 - Auckland Region
The New Zealand Law Society Auckland Branch and the New Zealand Bar Association | Ngā Ahorangi Motuhake o te Ture are pleased to present the Auckland region Young Lawyers' Mooting Competition 2017.
Entries have now closed for the competition, which is open to current and past professional legal studies trainees who are not yet admitted, and to lawyers with up to five years of post-qualification experience.
The competition is a rewarding and challenging opportunity for young lawyers to hone their advocacy skills, both in terms of written and oral advocacy, before senior members of the legal profession. It is a great chance to learn the craft of advocacy and develop familiarity with the court room.
