OKT congratulates moot participants

OKT was proud to be part of two recent moot competitions.  These competitions place law students in mock courtrooms or around negotiation tables to develop their oral advocacy skills and are an important part of all lawyers’ education.

OKT continued its annual sponsorship of the national Kawaskimhon Aboriginal Law Moot, which this year was held on March 6-8, 2015 at the University of New Brunswick.  OKT partner Bryce Edwards coached the University of Toronto team.  For this moot, law students from across the country represented various First Nations and Aboriginal organizations in a talking circle format.  The goal was for all parties to reach consensus on delegation to negotiate with the Crown.  The students spoke eloquently and passionately throughout three difficult days of negotiations – congratulations to all participants!
