The BLC organise the

Central and East European Moot competition

which is an annual event on European Community law issues in which teams of 3-4 law students and young lawyers compete in an active simulation of the European Court of Justice, on a current issue of European union law.

The Central and Eastern European Moot Court competition was created by the BLC to encourage and facilitate the possibility for BLC students and other young lawyers, law students from universities in the region to have the chance to participate in a competitive format, arguing before experts in European Union law. The topic of the moot is always a contemporary legal problem, often one currently being dealt with by the [real] European Court of Justice. The court is always presided over by a current or former Judge or Advocate General to the European Court of Justice.   As a number of our judges are working or involved in European Union institutions, students may find themselves mooting before a person who may later be involved in the development of opinions or judgments in Luxembourg on the legal issues raised by the moot problem issues … and so will follow the arguments used by competitors with great interest.
