Moot Court Competition
|
The NMMU Moot Court competition
is an event of great importance in the calendar of the
Law Faculty. Students participating in the event are given
the opportunity not only to test their ability in the
field of trial advocacy, but also to gain valuable practical
experience in mastering fundamental legal skills in a
litigation environment.
Nine teams of two students participated in the 2006 competition.
Each team had to present their case, either as plaintiffs
or defendants, based on a set of facts drawn up by senior
staff members of the Faculty. The competition was preceded
by a number of workshops aimed at preparing students for
the actual hearings. NMMU alumnus, Advocate Gerald Farber
SC, contributed to this project in his personal capacity
and successfully initiated the competition in 2003. |
