Congratulations to the following Monash Law School mooting teams who have performed outstandingly over the past few weeks. Monash Law School thanks them for representing the faculty with such distinction.

Students absolutely bloom in terms of knowledge, skills and legal maturity from these moots. Mooting is amongst those things you can participate in at law school which stays with you forever and fosters a wonderful sense of camaraderie and spirit.

AAT Moot

Sophie Caldwell and Patrick Kelly will compete in the AAT Moot Grand final on Tuesday 4 October. We congratulate them on their wonderful performance to get to the grand final. Thanks to Jason Harkess and Janina Boughey for helping with coaching the team, along with Rowena Cantley-Smith, Meg Good and Kathryn Browne.

Kirby Moot

Simon McIsaac, Amy Gilbertson and Arman Saffar have made it through to the finals of the Kirby Moot. The team had positive feedback during the four rounds held last week, with judges being very engaged and praising the structure of the team’s arguments. The team has been very fortunate to have practice moots with Emmanuel Laryea and Justin Malbon, and wish to thank them very much for their great assistance with preparations. We wish them the very best for the finals.

Gibbs Moot

Beatrice Paull, Andrew Elder and Antonia Glover Gibbs made it through to the semi-finals of the Gibbs Moot. The team exemplified hard work and diligence. The tireless effort to improve and chase down all avenues of inquiry with their research has stood them in good stead. Judges were very impressed with the team’s presentation, etiquette and knowledge of the law, commenting that they “could stand up in court today and do an excellent job”. Thank you to Lisa Burton-Crawford and Patrick Emerton who have given the team excellent support and assured they are well versed in constitutional law.

Baker and McKenzie Women’s Moot

The Women’s Mooting team, Olivia Wan, Oriana Barberis and Geena Zimbler made it through to the quarter-finals in Sydney. They finished second and third highest in two of the rounds with scores of 180/200 (one of the highest scores in the competition) and received some glowing feedback from the bench, recommending a career at the bar for some of the speakers. Thank you to Kathryn Browne and to fellow moot students Sophie Caldwell (AAT moot team) and Sarah Ward (Torts moot team) who went above and beyond to generously assist their peers. Also thank you to John Duns, Karen Wheelwright, and Paula Gerber, who all took time out to help the team.

4. Castan Centre Event: Literacy and Human Rights

This presentation, by writer and performer Kabu Okai-Davies, seeks to establish the link between literacy and the ability of individuals and groups to protect their human and civil rights.

In a post-colonial and post-industrial society, illiteracy can be equated to a form of disability. The rights of non-literate communities are in peril and at the mercy of legal systems burdened by red-tape and law enforcement officials unsympathetic to communities unequipped to understand the complexities of the law.

Kabu Okai-Davies is an African-Australian poet, playwright, novelist, public speaker, performer and storyteller from Ghana. He was the Founding Producer of African Globe TheatreWorks in Newark, New Jersey, before moving to Australia in 2006. He has since worked as a Playwright-in-Residence, Street Theatre; Producer of the National Multicultural Festival and Manager, Theo Notaras Multicultural Centre.
