6/27/23
Two students from the Double Degree in Law and Business Administration at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), Jorge Fernández de Henestrosa Herrero and Mauro González Sánchez, have won the latest edition of the ELSA-UM Moot Court Competition. This activity, organised by the European Law Students Association (ELSA) and the Uría Menéndez law firm, allows participants to simulate the resolution of a real case on third-party funding of arbitration and contract law.
65 teams from universities all over Spain took part in the competition. In the written stage, students had to submit a statement of claim or defence and the 16 best teams, including six from UC3M, qualified for the oral stage, which took place last Friday at the Uría Menéndez offices in Madrid. Three groups from the University reached the semifinals of the competition and UC3M faced the University of Deusto in the final.
The winning team received training from Pilar Perales Viscasillas and Juan Manuel Ramírez Cirera, lecturers from the Private Law Department, who said that they were very happy with our students’ achievement and satisfied to have been able to contribute to their practical training.
UC3M was also represented by Analía Bianca Cozzarelli Muñoz de Baena, Pedro Miguel Mata Chacín and Martín Caballero (semifinals, Bachelor’s Degree in Law and Double Degree in Law and Political Science); Pedro Lucas Medina Corrales and Mariester Muñoz Ceschini (last sixteen, Double Degree in Law and Business Administration and Bachelor’s Degree in Law); Cristina Aledo Díaz, Eduardo Mario Lago Montero and Romina Haro Podadera (semifinals, Double Degree in Law and Economics); Pablo Monrabal Espejo, Inmaculada Posada Gil and Ruth Smith Cuadrado (last sixteen, Double Degree in Law and Business Administration); and Michael Withers and Rui Xin Liu Jin (last sixteen, Bachelor’s Degree in Law). The first four teams also received training from lecturers Pilar Perales Viscasillas and Juan Manuel Ramírez Cirera.
