Katie Sargent, Chloe Smith, Kate Scarborough and Craig McCann have been selected to represent Scotland at next year’s Telders International Law Moot Court Competition.

The moot requires students to work in teams to tackle a complex international law problem. They must research relevant law and construct a robust submission in the form of written memorials and oral presentations.

Teams from over 40 universities will come together at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague next June to present their cases.

The memorials and pleadings are judged by legal experts and judges from the ICJ. The competition demands high standards of legal argument and professionalism from all involved.

The team will be hosting a number of events and participating in challenges to raise funds to cover their expenses, visit their GoFundMe page here.
