Qatar Airways/McGill Intramural Air Law Speed Moot
Qatar Airways and the McGill Institute of Air and Space Law are launching a new intramural "speed moot" competition focusing on issues in the specialised domain of air law.
The Qatar Airways/McGill Intramural Air Law Speed Moot Court Competition offers McGill law students at the BCL/LLB, LLM and DCL levels with the unique opportunity to grapple with fascinating topics and legal issues in aviation, and provides a platform for budding lawyers to perfect their oral advocacy and public speaking skills.
LOCATION: conference rooms, 3674-3690 Peel Street
Overview of the Air Law Speed Moot
To participate, each team must have two members. There will be no written submissions. Teams will make oral arguments only.
The forum tribunal will be the International Court of Justice.
The case problem will involve the international air law principle, found in many bilateral air services treaties, that puts a restrictive cap on the amount of foreign ownership of national airlines. The case will have only two principal issues (one for each team member).
Arguments will be limited to 15 minutes for each team. Each team will argue at least once for the appellant and once for the respondent.Ìý
