Law School
The Notre Dame law school has grown from strength to strength from its humble beginnings in the late 90s. The law school now takes part in the prestigious ALSA competitions and the AAT Mooting Competitions as well as the International Maritime Moot competition. For the past two years, the Law school has recorded great success; often finishing in the Top 5.
The law school is also known for its strength in ensuring all students complete a 'moot' unit (known as Advocacy). It is generally expected that law students require at least some moot experience prior to graduating. The law school excels in this area in providing a quality unit for all penultimate year students to moot in front of retired Chief Justice David Malcolm Q.C.
Notre Dame Law School Society also provides a number of competitions throughout the year which consists of:
- Senior Mooting Competition
- Junior Mooting Competition
- Negotiations
- Client Interview
- AAT Moot

Famous quotes containing the words law and/or school:
“It is time that we start thinking about foundational issues: about our attitudes toward fair trials... Who are the People in a multicultural society?... The victims of discrimination are now organized. Blacks, Jews, gays, women—they will no longer tolerate second-class status. They seek vindication for past grievances in the trials that take place today, the new political trial.”
—George P. Fletcher, U.S. law educator. With Justice for Some, p. 6, Addison-Wesley (1995)
“By school age, many boys experience pressure to reveal inner feelings as humiliating. They think their mothers are saying to them, “You must be hiding something shameful.” And shucking clams is a snap compared to prying secrets out of a boy who’s decided to “clam up.””
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
