Baker McKenzie and Leiden Law School in the Netherlands have once again joined forces to co-present the Children’s Rights Moot Court Competition.

The challenge

The participating student-teams will plead a fictitious case which involves a dispute between a state and a child/group of children. It is up to the teams to defend the two parties to the best of their abilities. The memorials for the Children’s Rights Moot Court case 2025 are judged by an International Panel of Evaluation.

The up-and-coming lawyers will have the opportunity to be coached by Baker McKenzie's team of international lawyers, who will also evaluate the students’ written memorials and judge the oral rounds. Each team will be offered the opportunity to attend a master class on writing and pleading skills, enhancing students' capacities and chances to perform during the competition.
