UCL success at the Warwick German Law Moot

Representing UCL at the second annual national German Law Moot at the University of Warwick Law School, Benjamin Durodie and Leonie Glaess won the final against the hosting team after having achieved the highest score in two preliminary rounds.

Mooters from Warwick, Exeter, KCL and UCL argued over a problem of German contract law, demonstrating their knowledge of the law and the German language. The competition, which is organised by the Warwick European Law Society and kindly supported by CMS Cameron McKenna, the Anglo-German Law Society and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), is the only one of its kind in the UK.

The Warwick German Law Moot is a unique competition with great potential to expand in the future. Students studying German law are encouraged to take part in the competition as it provides a unique opportunity to experience how Germany’s civil law system focuses on statutes and academic commentary.
