ALPSA Moot Final this Sunday

You are invited to attend the final of the ALPSA Moot, Sunday 28 September at 2.00pm in the UQ Moot Court.

Teams from UQ and QUT will be competing over the course of Saturday and Sunday to secure a place in the Final, in moots judged by lecturers from UQ, QUT and Griffith University.

The topic of the moot is an appeal from the fictional Case of the Speluncean Explorers, which raises the question of whether it is ever justifiable to kill another person. The moot is somewhat unusual in that it does not emphasise extensive research and reliance on authority, but instead requires teams to engage in sophisticated legal and philosophical analysis.

The moot will be judged by Professor Suri Ratnapala and Dr Jonathon Crowe of the University of Queensland, and his Honour Brian Devereaux SC who is an Acting Judge of the District Court, and formerly Legal Aid Queensland's Public Defender. We invite you to attend the Moot and the brief presentation of awards immediately afterwards.

We hope to see you there- no registration is required.
