Stefan Hirner, Kristina Karanikolova, Ollivier Le Chevoir and Raluca Sterian are excited to have come this far. 'The Moot Court Competition is a very popular elective course among law students. We all had to apply for it to make it to the team representing UvA. We knew that the European Law Moot Court Competition would be an outstanding opportunity to get practical experience and  that it would be beneficial in our future career.'

'It has been a wonderful experience and a lot of fun to work together as a team to prepare the written pleadings and we are now very busy preparing the oral pleadings for the regional final in Bratislava. The preparation for the Moot Court is quite intense and challenging. That’s what makes it interesting for ambitious students, who want to get an insight into EU law. Furthermore, learning how to work together as a team with teammates from different home jurisdictions and different backgrounds is a tremendous take away. We also received a lot of support from our coach Dr. Elaine Fahey, who helped us every step of the way and supported us throughout the whole process.'

'The European Law Moot Court Competition is a great way to receive some practical training and plead before experienced lawyers and we enjoyed every moment of it! If you are passionate about EU law and want to compete with other teams from all over Europe, or just want to practice your written and oral skills in a field you don’t know about yet, this is a great opportunity and an enriching social experience.'
