The Maidens’ Moot Final Competition took place on 21 February at King’s Inns

The final of the Maidens’ Moot took place on Friday 21st February 2025 at King’s Inns. The Maidens’ Mooting competition is aimed at students with very little prior mooting experience. The competition regularly attracts large numbers of participants from both the Diploma in Legal Studies and the Barrister–at–Law degree courses, and this year was no exception.

The finalists this year were two students from the full–time degree course, Beatrice Campbell and Emily Cahill, who faced rigorous questioning by a distinguished judging panel comprised of three judges of the High Court: Mr Justice Michael Quinn, Ms Justice Siobhán Phelan, and Mr Justice Rory Mulcahy. The winner was Emily Cahill. The moot took place at King’s Inns, with students and well–wishers in attendance. The event was also livestreamed and recorded, to enhance accessibility.

Many thanks to the members of the judiciary who gave up their time to judge the event, to our mooting coordinators, Gary Moloney BL and Morgane Conaty BL, and to the other members of the team involved in organising the event.
