Having trained for nearly two months, the contestants were adequately prepared in adjudication rule, litigation strategy, charging document and pleading plan with the help of their tutors and advisors.
In the moot court ofa case of disputes over sales contracts between Zhang Huan and Shengyuan World Watch Center, our contestants showed their great abilities in logical thinking, court defending and controlling of court procedures. The two parties for plaintiff and defendant respectively had hot debates on “whether the plaintiff is qualified” and “whether this case constitutes fraud”. Focusing much on legal basis, the judges of the competition asked legal questions on the invalidation of contracts, the cancellation of contracts and the like as the competition was in progress.
After competitions, contestants from our university entered the semi-finals and finally gained Honor of Top Six Group. Mu Yiming was awarded Honor of Best Contestant for his excellent performance. Through this competition, students experienced the court procedures, learned law cases and stabilized their aspirations of law career. The great honors that the contestants got showed their elegant demeanors of meeting challenges and fine style of study: honesty, hardworking and the unity of knowing and doing.
