The Nordic Moot Court Competition on Human Rights is a contest for law students from Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Iceland, with a particular focus on the European Convention on Human Rights. Participants are given the opportunity to plead in front of a panel of established judges from the European Court of Human Rights as well as the supreme courts of the respective Nordic countries.
As a member of the Nordic Forum for a living European Convention, you become part of a network of students, alumni from the Nordic trial competition, academics, practicing lawyers and others who are interested in the protection of human rights within the framework of the system that has been created through the European Convention.
Membership is renewed annually and both natural and legal persons can become members. As a member, you will be able to take part in seminars and other activities organized by the forum.
