Competitions for law students.
Since 1998 teams entered by the LEC have participated in competitions that emphasise fundamental practitioner skills: interviewing; negotiating; researching and submission preparation. Diploma in Law students who are willing to devote the time and accept responsibility for their participation are assisted through coaching, preliminary selection and competition registration.
LPAB/LEC students have reached the finals of both the Australian Client Interviewing and Negotiating Competition
and, on two occasions, the Australian Negotiation Competition.
In 1998, Arlene Cooper and Ian Taylor represented Australia and won the inaugural International Negotiation Competition, held in Pepperdine University, Los Angeles.
In 2004, Patricia Vagg and Peter Starkey won the national Negotiation Competition and went on to represent Australia at the International Negotiation Competition, held in Paris and won by the Danish team from the University of Copenhagen.
In 2005 Rebecca Nott and Scott Bunny reached the semi-final of the inaugural Madhavrao Scindia Memorial International Moot held at the University of Delhi.
In April 2007, the LEC organised and hosted the prestigous Louis M Brown International Client Counseling Competition for 2007. The event was held at the University of Sydney and contested by teams from 16 countries.
