MOOT COURT ON THE EUROPEAN SOCIAL CHARTER

GENERAL PRESENTATION

The third edition of the Moot Court Competition on the European Social Charter will take place at the University Jean Moulin Lyon 3 on 26 March 2024, at the initiative of the French Section of ANESC and it is opened to law students registered in any university from the Members States of the Council of Europe.

This bilingual (French-English) competition is based on a fictitious collective complaint and includes a written phase and an oral phase. Participation in the competition is open to law students registered with a University. By drawing lots, half of the competing teams are given the status of “claimants” and the other half the status of “respondent government ».

The written phase consists of the drafting of a collective complaint (for “applicant” teams) or a memorandum (for “respondent government” teams). The oral phase consists of a mock “hearing” before the European Committee of Social Rights (represented by the juries), within the meaning of Article 7 (4) of the Protocol of 9 November 1995.

The mock case will be communicated to the participating teams by the end of November 2023, together with the exact timeline of the competition and the membership of the Scentific Committe.
