In the recently concluded 2022 National Moot Court Competition on International Humanitarian Law at the Manila Adventist College in Pasay City, Team USA brought home the bacon along with the awards of Best Memorial for the Prosecution, Best Memorial for the Defense, and 2nd Runner Up in Role Play Challenge.
The individual prowess of our Augustinian mooters were also recognized. Mr. Ancel D’Cunha bagged the Justice Leonor Ines Lucian Memorial Award and the Preliminary Rounds Best Mooter, while Mr. Ervin Gedmaire Caro got recognized as the Preliminary Rounds Second Best Mooter.
The team is composed of the aforementioned mooters together with Ms. Julienne Dela Pieza, Ms. Marie Dominique Lavalle, and Ms. Mary Andrea Managaytay. They also came through under the tutelage of their adviser, Atty. Anfred Panes, as well as The Parliament.
They will soar high again next year in Hong Kong for the 2023 Regional International Humanitarian Law Moot Court Competition, representing the Philippines.
Bulahan kamo, mga Agustino!
