Dear Participants,
The 2010 Law Games organizing committee is proud to invite you to the pleadings competition, which will be held on the 3rd and 4th of January 2010. It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that we present you the academic calendar of activities.
The 2010 edition of the pleadings competition will be in the form of an oral debate, a type of “Face to Face”. We are particularly pleased to inform you that this year the debates will be translated on the spot by professional translators. For the Law Games 2010 organizing committee, it was absolutely essential and of great importance that the debates be able to be held in both official languages.
The subjects that will be debated by the participants of the pleadings competition were carefully chosen by our selection committee, in order for the juridical debates to be tied into contemporary questions. The following topics will be the object of the oral debates:
o Preliminary round: For or against bringing Canadian citizen Omar Khadr back to Canada.
o 2nd and 3rd rounds: For or against the implementation of minimal sentences for financial crimes.
o Final: For or against the creation of a pan-Canadian securities commission.
We will announce shortly the bench of esteemed judges that will preside over the pleadings competition and evaluate all of the participating teams. Also, a detailed schedule of the competition will be available as soon as we have confirmation of participation from all of the participating delegations.
The 2010 Law Games is arriving at full speed and the organizing committee is anxious to welcome you in great numbers!
Looking forward to making all of your acquaintances!
Sincerely,
Philippe Farley,
Moot Coordinator.
