The Law Society will hold the UCD Moot Court Competition Qualifier to determine the students who will represent the NUI Galway Law Society in the Thomas A. Finlay Moot in University College Dublin on March 26th 2010. The problem used for the internal competition will be the same as that used in the Final. This competition is especially recommended to law students currently studying tort as the problem question is largely based on a tort issue. Teams of two will be required to compete in this competition. If you would like to take part please contact the Law Soc Moot Court convenor at: e.reynolds1@nuigalway.ie
If you don't have a partner we will endeavour to find you one for you.
The Law Society also welcomes students who are interested in viewing this mooting competition to get an idea of what is involved to contact us at: nuiglawsociety@gmail.com and we will give you further details about the venue for the competition and timing of the various rounds.

David Quinn will speak about some of his recent research on an array of intriguing topics in algebraic combinatorics.
