Introducing the 2024–25 competitive moot teams
U of T Law’s competitive mooters for the 2024–25 season have been selected following this year’s competitive upper year moot tryouts. First-round tryouts took place from September 10–11, featuring a panel of student judges with at least one Moot Court Committee (MCC) member. Second-round tryouts took place on Thursday, September 12. The second round panel was composed of one faculty member, one MCC member, and one other student judge. Calls were made to successful candidates beginning at 4pm on Friday, September 15.
As is the case every year, the MCC coordinated the tryout process. The MCC is a student-run committee responsible for selecting successful mooter candidates and finding student coaches for each team.
This year, the tryout problem came from the 2021 Wilson Moot Problem R v Chaudry. The problem concerned the constitutionality of bail conditions imposed on the accused, Mr. Chaudry, who suffered from Alcohol Use Disorder. The conditions of his bail limited him to consuming alcohol only inside his home, prohibited him from entering establishments that serve alcohol, and required him to purchase alcohol through third parties. The problem explored challenging topics such as whether a bail judge should consider mutable features of the accused, including who currently lived with him, in determining reasonable bail conditions.
Prospective mooters were asked to represent the Crown as the appellant on appeal. They were tasked with arguing that the bail condition’s violation of section 15 and subsection 11(e) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms were saved by section 1 of the Charter.
The MCC would like to thank all the volunteer student and faculty judges who made the tryouts possible this year!
Below are the final results of this year’s tryout:
