What is it?
The NMCC is a moot court competition on European Union Law. It takes place in two stages: first, teams will plead in local rounds held by the respective local ELSA Group at their university. Furthermore, they will submit a written submission. The winners of all local rounds will proceed to the final round, hosted by ELSA the Netherlands. Here, they will have the chance to compete against the other local winners.
This year´s competition will revolve around EU Competition law.
Why participate?
It goes without saying that moot courts are a fantastic way to improve your legal skills and practice pleading a case before a panel. Beyond this, however, the NMCC enables you to meet law students from around the country, to network with peers and professionals, and to become part of ELSA’s international community. Furthermore, this competition provides you with a unique way to prepare for large international competitions and allows you important insights into the world of mooting.
