The Covenant Chambers Equity & Trusts Moot Competition 2026
We are proud to present The Covenant Chambers Equity & Trusts Moot Competition 2026, organised in collaboration with the NUS Law Mooting and Debating Club (MDC).
We warmly invite all LLB and JD students from NUS, SMU, and SUSS who have completed at least one year of law school to participate! (Singaporeans and PRs studying law in some foreign universities are also eligible; refer to the Rules of the Competition for details.)
Whether you’re an experienced mooter or first-timer, this moot is designed to hone the advocacy skills of our future lawyers. At the same time, this is a great opportunity to experience mooting with friends and interact with law students from other universities.
The competition is not merely a test of knowledge — it is a battle of wits, a symphony of persuasive advocacy, and a forge where future masters of equity are shaped.
Equity follows the law, but great advocates shape its course.
The challenge awaits. The bench is set. Will you answer the call?
