KCLBMS is sending a team to BPP's annual "Advocate of the Year" national mock trial competition. The team will consist of 2 members and 1 reserve who will represent KCL.The competition involves preparing and delivering aspects of realistic cases, replicating the work of the junior Bar. Actors will play the client roles, and competitors will be judged by BPP tutors, who are qualified lawyers with real trial experience.
The first round will take place online on Saturday 18th November, 2023. The highest 16 performing individual advocates in the first round trials will qualify for a place in the Grand Final. The Grand Final will take place at the Old Bailey in London on 23 March 2024, where the ultimate individual winner of the Advocate of the Year will be decided. If, for any reason, the Grand Final cannot take place as a face-to-face competition, it will instead run online.
The overall winner will be awarded a scholarship for BPP’s Barrister Training Course.
The deadline for this moot is Thursday 19th October, 17:00. Please email president@kclbms.org if you have any questions.
