AV¾ãÀÖ²¿

CREDIT HOURS: 3

The Wilson Moot was founded in 1992. It honours the outstanding contribution to Canadian law made by the late Honourable Bertha Wilson (a graduate of AV¾ãÀÖ²¿ Law) and, in the spirit of this contribution, to promote justice for those dis-empowered within the legal system. The goal of The Wilson Moot is to explore legal issues concerning women and minorities, and thereby promote the education of students and the legal profession in these areas of pressing concern.

The Wilson Moot takes place each year on a Friday and Saturday in late February at the Federal Court facility in Toronto. Selection is based on a student's stated interest in participation, prior experience, oral advocacy skills and academic record.
