The LAWASIA International Moot Writing Competition

The LAWASIA Moot Standing Committee is pleased to announce the first annual LAWASIA International Moot Writing Competition. The entry deemed by the Committee to the best entry in the competition will be awarded a cash prize of USD 500.

The Committee recognises that it might not be possible for one reason or another for all students interested in mooting to attend the annual moot competition. The Writing Competition therefore provides a platform for students to develop yet another set of soft skills required in the practice of the law. Students are required to critically analyse and express their views on the legal issues relating to the current LAWASIA International Moot Competition moot problem. The objective is to inculcate and challenge law students to simplify and communicate complex legal issues in simple plain language to a lay audience.

Entries with the appropriate title of the article must be received by the Committee by Friday, 21 August 2009. The top 10 entries will be announced on Friday, 28 August, 2009. The top 10 entries will have to submit a 3-minute video of themselves and provide a background to their article. The winning entry will be announced on Friday, 30 October, 2009.
