Hakim Kassam (Law III) was one of three students selected from the University of Windsor’s Law School to participate in the Oral Proceedings at Oxford University’s invitation-only moot competition in April 2015 in England.
The competition is hosted by the Oxford Intellectual Property Research Centre and invites teams from universities around the world to prepare written submissions and present oral arguments on each side of a hypothetical intellectual property law problem set by experts in the field.
Hakim Kassam was very excited to participate in this prestigious moot. “Being shortlisted for the Oxford International IP Moot is a major accomplishment for our law school,” he says. “Our team has been extremely lucky to practice before some of Canada’s best intellectual property lawyers, and we have a top coach in Professor Chapdelaine to help us excel in the competition.”
The competition is open to all law students registered at any law school worldwide. In September, a hypothetical problem was provided and our students submitted their entry. On the basis of a blind review of written submissions, our students were selected. In recent years, 25-30 teams have been invited to compete, including from the United Kingdom, France, the United States, Canada, China, Japan, India, Singapore, and Australia.
