St. Thomas University wins their first Osgoode Cup, former champions and longtime supporters crown 15th annual event
Osgoode Hall Law School hosted the 2019 Osgoode Cup this past weekend, the 15th iteration of Canada’s largest undergraduate moot tournament.
The event was notable for its many great speakers, including Nathaniel Erskine-Smith, MPP for Beaches-East York and winner of the 2006 Osgoode Cup, returning for the opening ceremonies. Introductory speaker Kim Gale and keynote speaker for the banquet Omar Ha-Redeye also shared their knowledge and experience in the legal profession at the banquet. The Chief Justice of the event was Barry Fisher, noted mediator and arbitrator as well as long-time supporter of the Osgoode Cup.
The 109 teams (218 participants) competed in four preliminary moots on Saturday March 2nd.
After the preliminary round the top 16 teams were selected to moot on the Sunday, March 4th in a single elimination format. The teams in the final completed eight moots over the course of the weekend.
