University of Bedfordshire students are celebrating after reaching the final 16 of the ESU National Mooting Competition.
Law students Kamran Malik and Zahra Fatima beat off stiff competition from the University of Warwick in the second round of the English Speaking Union (ESU) competition.
Sandra Warfield, Senior Lecturer in the University’s School of Law went with the team. She said: “The moot was a mixture of criminal and human rights law and I was really proud of the team. They dealt with a difficult moot problem and an interventionist judge in a most professional way.”
Zahra, a first year student at the University, and Kamran, a second year student, were mooting against two students who were both in their third year of study at Warwick.
Kamran and Zahra had already competed against other teams within the University to have the chance to enter the competition. They won the first round in the ESU competition on the law of tort against the University of Hertfordshire.
The competition is the largest and oldest of its kind in the country, receiving entries from teams from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Founded in 1972 as the Observer Moot, it has a tradition of attracting the very best legal brains as its judges and producing the next generation of them from its competitors.
The competition involves knock-out rounds held across the country, hosted by entrant universities, until the semi-finals and final in London in June 2011.
