Beachcroft Mooting Shield

A joint team from The College of Law in York and University of York Law School have demonstrated their advocacy skills by winning the Beachcroft Mooting Shield.

The team was made up of two students from the college and two from the University of York.

College students Katharine Fitzpatrick and Robert Cockburn took part in the final showdown while fellow team mates Russell Naglis and Micha Hatfield from York Law School put in winning performances during the group stages of the competition.

Beachcroft launched the competition last year to help law students increase their chances of breaking into the legal profession by improving their skills.
