Castan Centre Human Rights Moot

The team of Laura Bellamy, Chris Hibbard and Mick Power narrowly defeated the team of Dimitri Ternovski, Devon Whittle and Rebecca Hughes in the annual Castan Centre for Human Rights Mooting Competition which was held in the Court of Appeal recently. The winning team will receive $3000 and the runners-up will receive $1000.

The judges for the final - President Maxwell (LLB 1984) of the Court of Appeal, Judge Howard of the County Court and Dr Helen Szoke, CEO of the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission - all commented on the extremely high standard achieved by both teams in the final, remarking that the written and oral submissions were of such a high standard that they would not have been out of place in the daily list of the Court of Appeal.

Congratulations are due to both teams for their efforts and for their representation of the Melbourne Law School with such distinction.

Law teaching in Australia began in 1857 at Melbourne Law School. In 2008, Melbourne Law School celebrates another first, becoming the first all-graduate law faculty in Australia: all entry level students are now admitted to the global standard, Juris Doctor (JD) degree. This new program builds on a rich tradition of success, which has enabled Melbourne Law School graduates to become leaders in legal, political and public life across Australia, and around the world.

The faculty is distinguished by its commitment to the integration of cutting-edge scholarship with teaching and knowledge transfer activities, and by its insistence on the critical importance of cross-disciplinary and comparative analysis across the full range of its degree programs. It is home to more than a dozen research institutes and groups, offering its students and staff both meaningful opportunities for and access to a rich and authentic communal life.
