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.

Get Ready...
To have the time of your Life.
To live the thrill of your Life.
To party like never before.
To be part of the biggest party of the year.
Are you ready?
Because UQÀM is ready.
Because UQÀM has a plan: Organizing the BEST Law Games of all time.
So once again…. Are YOU ready?
First Night: Opening Night.
During the holidays, you've avoided every party? You have eaten healthy? You have slept (alone) every night at 21 pm 00? Perfect ... You will be fresh and available, January second, for the flamboyant opening night.
A private club, the 1234, reserved exclusively for "Lawgamers”. It is located in one of the most beautiful place in Montreal. Prepare yourself to see all the colors, because this year ... We have a great entertainment package awaiting for you.
Second Night: The Pub Crawl.
5 different bars located in the “Latin Quarter” of Montreal will host "serious" inter-university competitions. For nearly 4 hours, we will test your dexterity, your physical strength, your speed ... Not to mention the tightness and robustness of your liver.
The rivalry will be everywhere. Do you have the profile? On January 3, get ready for furious competition ... and for "deals on alcohol" beyond comprehension!
This night will end up in the opulent nightclub: LaMouche which, again, is exclusively reserved for us!
You'll see ... We have a lot of imagination.
So…. Are you in?
Not convinced yet?
Perfect…
Because, I’m not quite finished.
Third Night: The Movie Night Party
Choose your favourite movie.
Dress up as your favourite hero.
And show the rest of Canada that you have more talent than all the others...
Hollywood takes over the Telus Theater for an evening of "Cinema". That night, we offer you nothing but Talent. For the occasion, we have recruited an outstanding team of judges. On January 4, prepare yourself to be dazzled by the LawGames 2010’s Hot Talent Show.
Last Night: The Closing Ceremony
The ultimate evening of the 2010 Law Games promises to be sumptuous. Put on your finest outfit looking as prettier as possible, because the Hyatt Regency Hotel’s grand reception room opens its doors for a stylish cocktail dinner. Recently completely renovated, you'll be among the first to discover its new atmosphere.
Different menus will be offered during that evening: pleasure for everyone! As if this was not enough, your Organizing Committee offers the drinks to all their guests until 2h00. Wine as you wish. Imported beer as you wish. For everyone. This is the treat of the Organizing Committee! Enjoy.
It is also during this evening that you will know the winners of the various sports, academic and social cups. Prepare also to shed a few tears as we will be showing a recap video of the Law Games 2010 that evening.

This year, we want to know which university has the best cinematographic skills. That's why a videoclip contest will be held!
It can be a perfect reproduction of a videoclip, singing puppets, or even you singing under the shower, doesn't matter! What's important is that there're Lawgamers, a song and a video!
