Freedom Law Clinic launch inaugural Criminal Appeals Mooting Competition, in association with Murray Hughman Solicitors and Mountford Chambers
The competition, which is now open for entries, will focus on drawing out and cultivating the talents of competitors and encourages applications from those in the early stages of their legal development. Additionally, individuals with no prior experience are welcome. Whether unfamiliar with mooting or contemplating a change in career to law, participation is encouraged. For this reason, the competition is open to individuals without a training contract or pupillage.
The first stage of the competition is an application.
