Moot court on equality<\/strong><\/p>\n

Professor John Cotter, from the University of Wolverhampton (United Kingdom)<\/strong>, spoke in this iWeek<\/strong> on judicial independence and the transparency or accountability of the European Court of Justice. She and Eleaine Dewhurst, professor at the University of Manchester<\/strong>, carried out a simulated lawsuit \u2013 or moot court <\/strong>\u2013 together with students from the program in Law studies at CEU-UCH. The moot court<\/strong>\u00a0was\u00a0on a case of equality and non-discrimination, and was carried out exactly like the European Court of Justice would. Professor Dewhurst spoke at two conferences on equality and the relation between equality and crisis in the legal framework of the European Union, two themes our students had the chance to bring into practice during the moot court<\/em>.<\/p>\n
