As part of activities marking its 20th anniversary, commercial law firm Streamsowers & Köhn has launched what it described as a long-term investment in grooming the next generation of legal practitioners through its maiden Moot Court Competition, with Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, emerging overall winner.
The grand finale of the competition, held recently at the MUSON Centre, Lagos, brought together the top five law faculties selected from submissions received from universities across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones.
After a rigorous written stage, Obafemi Awolowo University and Bayero University Kano advanced to the final oral advocacy round, where participants argued a mock case before a panel of distinguished judges.
At the end of the contest, Obafemi Awolowo University was declared the overall winner, while its lead counsel, Ase Hephzibah, was named Best Advocate of the competition.
Other finalists were the University of Abuja, the University of Lagos and the University of Calabar.
