The Environmental Justice Moot Court (EJMC) will be organized in order to deepen students’ understanding of European Union law, with a special focus on environmental law, particularly in the context of climate change. Participating students will master selected legal issues pertaining to the substantive and procedural aspects of the fictional case that will be drafted by the case drafter chosen by the Chair’s staff among renowned experts of EU law. The idea is to organise two Moot Courts 2023 and 2024 as a minimum, but there are serious plans to continue with the Moot Court in the future beyond the Chair’s lifetime.
Participants will be required to prepare written submissions and present oral arguments addressing unsolved questions pertaining to climate change and environmental law. More information are provided in the Moot Court Rules published in this webpage. The final event will entail the simulation of a court hearing and will encompass several sessions with the finalist teams and will take place in Cagliari. The moot court will be open to students from all universities that are interested to compete, in line with most existing moot court experiences. This ideally includes the whole world, though the focus on the EU will effectively mean that mostly European students will be attracted.
