In past years, the evening has featured a number of distinguished and esteemed guests. Influential keynote speakers are from the upper echelon of Ontario’s legal and academic communities.

The daytime mooting competition rounds are free for spectators and observers, and the general public is welcome to attend the formal dinner by purchasing tickets. Ticket sales to the our nonprofit dinner formal event help offset costs such as administration and food.

COMMUNITY PARTNER PROGRAM

Since the beginning of the Paralegal Cup in 2013, the paralegal community has shown overwhelming support for the event’s continued success. The Cup is truly an event that brings together the entire paralegal community, students, and professionals alike.

Community Partner Program participants are important supporters of the mission and goals of the Paralegal Cup. Contributions help support and offset the administrative costs of putting on a large-scale event.

Involvement as a Paralegal Cup Community Partner is an incredible opportunity to support experiential higher education through student participation. Moreover, participation in the program speaks to the desire to give back to the community and enhance the competition’s success.

It is through the support of our Community Partner Program participants that the Paralegal Cup Moot is able to bring this academic event to paralegal students across the province.
