The Paralegal Cup LEAD CHANGE + The Paralegal Cup FOSTER CONNECTIONS + The Paralegal Cup SUPPORT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Paralegal Cup Intercollegiate Mooting Competition

Our community is the 'heartbeat' of the Paralegal Cup. Our non-profit, academic competition continually strives to foster and engage the community.
Since the launch 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.
Our professional learning community is diverse and inclusive, encompassing students, professionals, individuals, and other non-profit organizations. We all share a common vision for creating an enriching learning opportunity by encouraging mentorship through community engagement.
Our collaborative approach to community engagement drives innovation into every aspect of the event. These innovative and unique aspects of the Paralegal Cup are reinvigorating the well-established oral advocacy exercise of mooting. The Paralegal Cup has introduced this valuable exercise to a new academic community and generation.
As the Paralegal Cup continues to evolve, we welcome your critical thoughts, suggestions and ideas, and we encourage your participation at all levels of the competition.

For the past two years I have volunteered at the Paralegal Cup which is an Intercollegiate Mooting Competition. I cannot possibly say enough about this event. We have seen the top students from around the province who have thoroughly impressed the paralegal and academic communities alike. This event has grown in popularity.
I am proud to have been part of this event in past years and am looking forward to volunteering again in 2015. One of my objectives and commitments to the Paralegal Cup Standing Committee is to try and recruit colleges and students to participate in this event.

I am really deeply impressed. I have been in law school moots, I have judged moots, and I have coached moots. I have never seen more effectively organized and better advocacy demonstrated in a moot competition, anywhere I have been.

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.
