Each School shall indicate in its initial registration the official language in which its Teams will make written and oral submissions during the Competition. For greater certainty, both Teams from a given School shall moot in the same official language.

The registration fee for each School is CDN$500. An invoice with payment instructions will be sent to the School Coordinator shortly after initial registration is received.

As soon as possible, but no later than January 5, 2024, each Team coordinator must update their School’s registration online to indicate which Mooters will be representing the appellant and respondent sides, and the order in which each Mooter on each Team will present their oral argument.

Requests must include a brief explanation as to why each clarification is necessary.

Requests will be answered at the discretion of the Committee. Questions cannot relate to the substantive legal issues (or sub-issues) raised by the Moot Problem. Requests should be clear and only in relation to the interpretation of these Rules, procedural matters or the facts contained in the Moot Problem.
