Czech Moot Court Competition

The Czech Moot Court Competition (CMCC) is a competition that simulates judicial proceedings.

The main goal of the project is to verify students’ knowledge in the various areas of law, and to demonstrate their skills (especially in court arguments) before a jury of legal professionals.  This experience is of great benefit for the future professional career of every student. 

Students taking part in this competition stand to win a number of amazing prizes, and also an interesting financial award.

The CMCC is in a one – round or two – round format. The one-round format consists of the written part, followed by one national oral final that is attended by eight teams with the best written court pleadings (but it is always dependent on the number of registered teams).  

The two-round format comprises of a written part that is followed by a local faculty oral round, which takes place at each of four law faculties in the Czech Republic. The winner of each “local round” advances to the national oral final, where the winning teams from all four faculties compete against each other. There is also an option to make an “improvement” to the case. After the winning teams from all four law faculties advance to the national final, the original assignment is modified, and accordingly the teams are required to remake their pleadings for better preparation in the national oral final.
