INTERNATIONAL DISTINCTION OF THE SCHOOL OF LAW NKUA - QUALIFICATION IN THE INTERNATIONAL ROUND OF THE "PRICE MEDIA LAW MOOT COURT COMPETITION" 2024
The team from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, which represented Greece in the European Regional Round of the international moot court competition in media law and information technologies in society "Price Media Law Moot Court Competition" (European Rounds, Paris 31.01.2024 - 02.02.2024), reached the European final of the competition and qualified for the International Rounds (Oxford 15-19 April 2024).
The Price Media Law Moot Court Competition is organised annually by the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights at the University of Oxford's Faculty of Law. This year's case addressed highly interesting and topical legal issues relating to artificial intelligence and its relationship with the fundamental right to freedom of expression. The case is available at https://www.law.ox.ac.uk/content/cases-and-rules
The School of Law of NKUA has been participating in the competition since 2020 and has achieved an excellent performance thanks to its high quality presence, both at the stage of submitting written pleadings and at the stage of oral argument before the judges.
This year, the team consisted of the undergraduate students Athanasia Pateli, Argyro-Demetra Papavassiliou, Ioanna Lymioti and Ioanna-Rafailia Malandraki, under the supervision and guidance of Associate Professor of European Law Rebecca-Emmanouella Papadopoulou and Associate Professor of International Law George Kyriakopoulos of the Athens University of Legal Sciences, with the assistance in the preparation of the team of student Eleni Radovits, who was a member of the 2022 team.
The Law School team received excellent comments for its performance from the evaluators of the written submissions and from the judges in the oral proceedings ("Admirable legal reasoning and structure", "Excellent understanding of Public International Law and profound understanding of the ambiguous legal realms of artificial intelligence"), while the breadth and robustness of its legal arguments, as well as its in-depth knowledge of international law and media law and information technologies in society were particularly impressive.
This high distinction for the Athens Law School, which continues its dynamic presence at the highest level of this competition, reflects the passion of the students of the Law School for research and learning, as well as the particularly high comparative position they hold among their peers around the world.
