1. 6th Annual Castan Centre Human Rights Moot
The Castan Centre for Human Rights Law is hosting the sixth annual human rights moot competition, which is open to law (JD/LLB) students at all Victorian universities. The competition will address issues associated with the Victorian human rights legislation and will give students the opportunity to hone their skills in this important area of law. The event is proudly sponsored by Clayton Utz, who is providing generous prizes:
- $3000 to the winning team
- $1000 to the runners-up
Competitors must be in the equivalent of at least third year of a combined law degree, or in any stage of a JD degree, but must not have completed their degree. It is preferable that competitors have completed some studies in human rights law.
For more information please see here.
The Castan Centre wishes to thank the moot competition sponsors Clayton Utz
