Our Association is founded by a group of law students keen at advocacy. We aim at proving local secondary school students with the opportunity to obtain legal education and conduct advocacy. Last year, our members have assisted the Hong Kong Youth Law and Current Affairs Association in their Mooting and Mock Trial Competition 2015 and provided excellent mooting experience for 16 teams coming from different local secondary schools. Similar to last year, there will be a Chinese and an English division. This year, each division has expanded to accommodate 16 teams. The Quarter Finals and the Semi Finals will be in the form of mooting while the Preliminaries and the Finals will be held in the form of mock trial. All rounds of the competition will be held in a Court in Hong Kong. To assist participants in preparing the competition and to have a concept of what studying law in a university means, every team will be allocated with one local law student. We hope this activity can complement the current Liberal Studies curriculum for HKDSE students in the area of rule of law. Attached please find an Application Form. The Rules of the Competition is set out in detail on our website http://hkmoot.org. Kindly fill in the application form and post it back by ordinary post to Policy DESK Think Tank at P.O.
