To enrich the learning experience, we have organized a workshop series on core aspects of mooting and advocacy. Senior practitioners and former mooters will lead these sessions. All students selected for a team are required to attend all AMP workshops.
An information session to explain the application process, the time and work involved in various AMP competitions, and a Q&A session with past mooters, will be held on Wednesday, September 13 at noon in the Moot Court (1150 Law Building). Registration and other information will be posted on the main AMP webpage in early September.
The following sessions will be held in-person and virtually in fall 2023/winter 2024:
