Judges - Sports Law Arbitration Moot
All the judges have extensive experience as either arbitrators at the Court of Arbitration for Sport and other arbitral bodies, or they are experienced advocates in sports dispute resolution and at CAS. The judges from the quarter-final rounds onwards are all experienced CAS arbitrators.
We would like to thank our judges for their overwhelming support and for giving up their time freely to help the next generation of sports lawyers realise their potential.
