After months of labor, the African Moot Court team - IHRL students Masa Amir and Tye Tavaras - leave on Sunday to participate in the 19th African Human Rights Moot Court Competition to be held at the University of Abomey-Calavi in Benin from October 4 to 9. Written memorials were submitted on August 31st; oral argument practice continues. They will be presenting their oral arguments on 5 and 6 October. Stay tuned!
(This year is the seventh time that AUC has sent delegates to the competition. In September 2005, in Johannesburg South Africa, the AUC team reached the final round of competition out of sixty teams. The African moot competition was started in 1992 by law faculty at the Centre for Human Rights at University of Pretoria, South Africa. It takes place every year in a different African country. It was held at the American University in Cairo in 2002. The Competition aims to increase awareness of human rights issues on the continent, develop research, writing, and oral argumentation skills of participants, and provide a continent-wide network for information exchange and collaboration.)
