Hicks Morley Moot Competition

Hicks Morley is committed to supporting the education and development of the next generation of leading human resources law practitioners.

Each year, the firm hosts a moot competition at a number of Ontario’s law schools. Students work in teams of two and present the appeal or judicial review of a decision arising out of the field of labour and employment law. The moot scenarios focus on timely, topical issues, and are designed to encourage participants to critically engage with issues that arise in our areas of practice.

Preliminary rounds are held at each participating law school, and are judged by Hicks Morley lawyers. The winning teams from each school will then participate in the Hicks Morley Moot finals, which are held each year in our Toronto office and followed by our traditional celebratory reception where participants have the opportunity to meet members of the firm.

The moot is an excellent opportunity for law students to hone their advocacy skills, receive feedback on the quality of their legal arguments from practitioners in the area and learn tips and techniques on their presentation.

Due to COVID 19, the Hicks Morley Moot for 2020 and 2021 did not take place.
