Law Students excel in Copenhagen
After two days of negotiation rounds, NYU, Peking, Gujarat and Hebrew University were eliminated from the negotiations and Yale, UCT, Copenhagen and Singapore progressed to the finals, held 1 December.
Professor PJ Schwikkard, Dean of Law comments:
The faculty is very proud of our students. Their achievements contribute to our standing as the only African Law School in the top 100 law schools in the QS World Rankings. The Faculty is fortunate that its academic strengths include the relevant fields of environmental law, alternate dispute resolution, international law and intellectual property. Today's law students need to be able to think and work in a global community and the success of our Copenhagen team indicates that our students are able to do this.
The four members of the UCT team worked exceptionally well together, and were particularly successful at negotiating strategic coalitions with other countries and emerged as a clear winner.
The team consists of:
William Atwell
Andrew Fisher
Brigid Kell
Unesu Moyo
and Coach: Debbie Collier.
