The European Human Rights Moot Court Competition is an internationally recognised highly competitive event.  It provides not only the opportunity to test legal abilities against Europe's elite, but also provides an opportunity to network with Human Rights specialists and,  the unique experience  of advocating in the Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.
