Merilampi Case – käytännönläheistä oivaltamisen oppimista
Merilampi Case
Merilampi Case
Merilampi Case is a moot court competition organised by Merilampi Attorneys, in which the participants work in pairs to resolve a realistic client assignment. Merilampi Case is aimed at law students.
Merilampi Case
Business law is complicated, and problem-solving requires creativity and cooperation with the client. A lawyer needs to understand the client’s business and objectives related to it along with applicable jurisprudence. In this competition, the participants will face a legal challenge from a fictional client, which will alter and become more complicated during the journey – as it so often happens in real life.
The participating pairs will have to show creativity and acumen along with the ability to present the legal solution they have formulated to the client’s representatives. The jury of the competition includes representatives of Merilampi and prominent members of Finnish business life.
How the competition proceeds?
The competition starts with writing an application initiating proceeding. Couples who have returned it are given feedback and informed on how to write application initiating proceedings and replies.
After this, the competition continues by writing the replies In the next step, a seminar will be held on the work of a dispute resolution lawyer and oral argumentation. In the semi-finals and finals held at Merilampi's office, the couples get to argue orally and the winning pair is decided.
The winning couple of the competition will receive a total prize of 3,000 euros. The Merilampi Case competition has been organized since 2015.
