Stetson International Environmental Moot Court Competition

3 credits · Professional

This course provides enrolled students with the opportunity to participate as a member of Dalhousie’s team for the Stetson International Environmental Moot Court Competition, hosted by Stetson University’s Faculty of Law (the “Stetson”). The Stetson is the foremost international moot focused on global environmental challenges such as conservation, sustainability, and climate change. The Official Moot Package is sent to participants in late July and teams of two or three submit their memorial in November. The competition requires teams to present arguments both as applicant and as respondent. Teams participate in February in a regional competition, which may be held in person or online. The top 15% of teams from the regional competition are invited to participate in the international finals, usually held in April. Teams may include two or three members. Members of the team are encouraged to enrol in both Environmental Law and International Environmental Law. CALENDAR NOTES: This moot competition is open to second and third year students in the JD and combined JD degrees. This moot can count as a major paper course if needed.
