Murdoch Law students have ranked among the best in the world after winning a recent international moot competition.
The student team were recently ranked seventh in the world at the Global Finals of the 2017 Foreign Direct Investment International Arbitration Moot held at Suffolk University Law School in Boston, United States.
More than 100 teams from law schools around the world competed in this prestigious international event, which focused on issues of international commercial arbitration and investment law.
Murdoch University’s Director of Mooting and Competitions, Lorraine Finlay said, “The FDI Moot is a prestigious international competition that involves some of the top law schools in the world. For our Murdoch team to do so well in the competition shows just how talented and hard working our students are. It also highlights the quality of our mooting programme at Murdoch, which delivers world-class advocacy training to our students.”
“The moot was one of my best experiences in the law school. The opportunity to display my skills on a global stage was truly inspiring,” said one of the University’s students who ranked among the top ten competitors in the event.
The success at this event rounds off an enormously successful year for the Murdoch moot programme.
