Baker McKenzie and Leiden University are delighted to announce that the winner of the 2025 Children’s Rights Moot Court competition is Team 19: O.P Jindal Global University, India.
This year’s competition saw 31 teams from almost 20 countries plead a fictitious case involving a dispute between a state and a child/group of children. Over four months, the competing teams worked on and submitted written memorials on behalf of both applicant and respondent in the case, and then took part in four rounds of oral pleadings in the hope of making the elimination rounds.
The up-and-coming lawyers were coached by Baker McKenzie's team of international lawyers, who alongside Baker McKenzie clients and academics from global universities also evaluated the students’ written memorials and judged the oral rounds.
We would like to thank all the 200+ volunteers who came together to make this special event happen. Congratulations to the students who participated, and of course, to the winners: Team 19.
