On the 20th of March, Urios will be organizing her very first Moot Court Competition! If you like to practice your pleading skills and you also have interest in Human Rights, then this will be an excellent challenge for you to take: center point of this moot court will be a case before the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR)! This competition will be held between teams of two students in a moot court including two preliminary questions and a third finale question before the Court, where several professional lawyers will take place as judges in order to give you feedback and to decide who is going to be the best pleading team of the day! The participation fee for this competition will be €5,00 for members and €7,50 for non-members. You can either sign up as a team, or sign up by yourself (in that case we will team you up). See here a sum up of all important details:

• Date: 20 March
• Time: 16.00 - 20.00 hours
• Location: Raadszaal

• Otto Volgenant, partner at Kennedy van der Laan
