The UQ Law School Jessup Moot Team took the Philip C Jessup International Law Moot Competition in Washington DC in April this year — the first time a Queensland team had won the championship in the competition’s 46 year history.

This year’s Fuji Xerox Australian Law Awards winner of the Hughes-Castell Lifetime Achievement Award, the High Court’s Justice Michael Kirby, led the proceedings to congratulate the students and encourage them in their future legal careers.
