This is the second Mooting Title for the Faculty of Law. In April 2014, another team won the “Best New Team” prize out of 126 teams at the 55th Phillip C. Jessup International Law Moot Competition held in Washington DC. There were eight participants in this year’s CCJ VII International Law competition, made up of law schools, faculties and departments from the region. The Eugene Dupuch Law School of The Bahamas won the overall best team prize. The CCJ’s Annual International Law Moot Court Competition was inaugurated in 2009 to encourage law students to become familiar with the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas, the instruments establishing the CCJ and other areas of international law. The UWI St Augustine’s team advisor was Alicia Elias-Roberts, Deputy Dean at the Faulty of Law and the team members included Shane Pantin as lead counsel, Maria Sawh as junior counsel and Neetu Lalsingh as the researcher/reserve. |
The Faculty of Law at the St Augustine Campus may be young but it’s already making its mark. A team from the new faculty launched in 2014 has won the prize for the “Best Team from an Academic Institution” at the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) VII Annual International Law Moot Court Competition. The competition was held on March 13 at the CCJ headquarters in Port of Spain.
