LAWS 2039 ‑ Laskin Moot

CREDIT HOURS: 3

The Laskin Moot is Canada's national bilingual constitutional and administrative law moot court competition. It takes place in late February or early March each year at a different host faculty in Canada. Preparation of a factum is required in advance of the moot. One team member must be capable of mooting in French but other team members need not be bilingual. The course is open to third year students, and participants are generally selected either following a 'moot-off' competition conducted by the Moot Court Committee or by the faculty member coaching the moot.

NOTE: Students may take only one competitive moot during their JD.

Prerequisite(s): Administrative Law (LAWS 2000).
Co-requisite(s): Constitutional Law (LAWS 2062).
Assessment Method: Research and factum, as well as oral advocacy. Participation in the class satisfies the major paper writing requirement, if the student wishes to count the moot as a major paper.
Restrictions: Students are not permitted to audit this course. This course is restricted to Third Year students only.
