The 2012 UTG Jessup team held a demonstration moot last Friday, February 24. The point was to publicize our work, draw attention to mooting, raise funds in The Gambia, and practice our arguments.
We had four distinguished judges: Johannes Buabeng-Baidoo, visiting lecturer from the University of Pretoria; Hannah Edmonds, visiting lecturer from Bristol University; Pierre-Alexandre Henri, LLM candidate from Cambridge; and Gaye Sowe, adjunct professor and senior legal officer at the Institute for Human Rights and Development.
The students were confident, persuasive, and poised. The judges were attentive, challenging and critical. The story ran on the radio and in the newspaper. It was a success.
