Human Rights Moot 2025: Applications now open

Register for the opportunity to take part in the Junior Lawyers Committee’s annual human rights moot competition.

You can register on our Google Form linked here.

You’ll have the chance to argue in front of eminent practitioners and members of the judiciary, to sharpen your written and oral advocacy, and fuel those all-important applications for training contracts and pupillage by showing a real interest in human rights. Finalists will have the experience of appearing in the Royal Courts of Justice (RCJ) and battling it out over fascinating topical issues in human rights law.

This year, the oral rounds (the semi-finals and final) will again be held in person, with the final in front of a distinguished panel at the RCJ.
