Competitions

Currently, the UTS LSS holds four main competitions per semester. During Autumn semester Senior Client Interviewing, Negotiation, Mooting and Witness Examination are held. The Junior versions of these competitions commence in Spring Semester. The winners of the senior competitions may be given the opportunity to represent UTS at ALSA, the National Championships. The LSS also runs a Senior Paper Presentation competition in Autumn Semester, which may be entered by any member of the LSS.

 

Each of these competitions give students the opportunity to develop and display their practical legal skills, building on the knowledge and techniques developed during their studies. Students who compete will interact with judges from both within the UTS law faculty as well as many prestigious law firms and as such build stronger and wider legal connections.

 

LSS Competitions are not just about competing however, they are also a way to build friendships within UTS. Students can also volunteer for competitions as time keepers or even witnesses and clients.
