Congratulations Adelaide Mooters!

Hannah Canham, Rachael White and Georgia Goldsworthy
The University of Adelaide contingent has just returned from the annual Australian Law Students Association (ALSA) conference in Brisbane, and our ALSA mooters have brought back to the Law School the winning trophy, having beaten the University of Auckland in the grand final on Sunday.
The team was made up of Rachael White, Hannah Canham and Georgia Goldsworthy. Hannah Canham also received the award of best oralist for the minor rounds of the competition.
The win was very hard fought, with the team having to familiarise themselves with a new set of facts and area of law for each of their six moots. They also had to overcome last year’s winners, the University of Western Sydney, in the quarter finals. The team performed outstandingly and sacrificed several social functions, sightseeing opportunities, and many hours sleep throughout the week to secure their win.
Rachael, Hannah and Georgia had the fortune to be judged by numerous Supreme Court of Queensland judges over the course of the competition, and a panel of three judges including Justice Kiefel of the High Court of Australia in the Grand Final. To be declared the champion team by such illustrious judges is truly a great honour.
The LSS is immensely proud of their achievements and the way they represented the University of Adelaide throughout the competition.
