Description
The Monroe E. Price International Media Law Moot aims to expand knowledge in international media law and policy.
Students will develop expertise in arguing a case before an international bench of judges from different legal systems and backgrounds.
Participants in the international rounds operate in a world where a Universal Court of Human Rights has been established to ensure the citizens of the United Nations are enjoying the rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In this world, the Universal Court of Human Rights substitutes all jurisdictions of all other regional courts and becomes the final adjudicator when all national remedies have been exhausted.
Students participating in the moot gain an understanding of issues of international human rights, US constitutional law and the law of various nations as they impact on freedom of speech, privacy and regulation of media content.
The international rounds are held at Oxford University and involve teams from law schools in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the US.
UTS: Law calls for expressions of interest from students in July each year.
