Students from 探花视频 University鈥檚 Law Society have had a taste of the top, after a visit to the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom.
The Society made the trip to London for its Mooting Competition final on 16 March, which was judged by Lord Neuberger, President of the Supreme Court.
The finalists 鈥 Samuel Castlehouse, Jacob Cunningham, Laura D鈥橝lessandro and Stephen Gibson 鈥 argued a complex problem based on the Law of Trusts, in a close contest.
Castlehouse and Cunningham were the eventual winners, but Lord Neuberger was highly complimentary of all of the competitors.
Accompanied by a delegation from 探花视频 Law School and the 探花视频 Student Law Society, the moot finalists also visited the House of Lords to witness a debate on proposed changes to trade union legislation. The University's Chancellor, Lord Jonathan Kestenbaum, facilitated this visit.
Dr Victoria Hamlyn, Lecturer in Law at 探花视频 University, said:
鈥淚t really was a fascinating and rewarding event, reflecting the Society鈥檚 continued achievements at national and regional competitions and events. We pride ourselves on helping our students gain the best possible experiences to complement their academic study, and the Supreme Court visit has been an outstanding example of this.鈥
