The Nordic Moot Court Competition on Human Rights is a competition for law students from Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Iceland, with a particular focus on the European Convention on Human Rights.
The participants, approximately 80 law students competing in teams from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland are given the opportunity to plead before a distinguished panel of judges from the European Court of Human Rights as well as the supreme courts of the respective Nordic countries.
The final weekend is held annually in June, hosted in one of the Nordic capitals on a rotating basis. In addition to the competition itself, the program includes a range of social activities, excursions, receptions, and a gala dinner.
This final stage of the competition represents the culmination of ten weeks of work, including the drafting of written submissions and the practice of oral pleadings in a fictional case addressing highly relevant contemporary legal issues. These elements are carried out through instruction at the participating universities as well as under the auspices of the advocacy clubs to which the teams are affiliated.
