The 2023 Competition

We ran a hybrid competition this year which combined the advantages of an online competition with those of an in person one. In-person regionals in Sheffield and London together with an online regional took place on 18th February 2023. 34 law schools took part with 12 qualifying for the in-person finals hosted by Oxford Brookes University on 11th March 2023.

Congratulations to Tom Eyles and Steph Haynes from Oxford Brookes who won our national competition and went on to finish third in the international competition in Maastricht in April. Congratulations also to Emma Layton and Hadley Middleton from Swansea who, as the highest ranking Welsh team, then represented Wales in Maastricht reaching the semi-final round. Sid Ali Boutellis and Matthew Taylor from Nottingham Trent Univrrsity were national runners up with Swansea placed third. Full results are here.

The topic was Environmental Law.
