Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Students’ Moot

This competition is now open for applications.

This moot will play a key role in promoting students’ understanding of commercial law and advocacy and provide an opportunity to find out what mooting at university is like.

Students are required to form teams of two advocates. Teams are encouraged to have a third member in the role of researcher/instructing solicitor. Teams will be required to prepare both sides of the argument and provide written submissions to the competition organisers. 

The competition is supported by the Indigenous Lawyers Association of Queensland. Students will have the opportunity to workshop the moot problem and network with members of other teams (week beginning 4th August).

The competition’s Preliminary Finals and Final will be held on 23rd September, 2025 in the Queensland Supreme Court.  Up to three students will be selected for this team.

Applications close 11.59pm, Sunday 13th July 2025.
