THE THIRD EDITION OF THE MOOT COURT TOURNAMENT: "LEGAL REPRESENTATION BEFORE THE NATIONAL APPEALS CHAMBER"

The Public Procurement Law Association cordially invites students of law and administration faculties to participate in the third edition of the Moot Court tournament: 'Legal representation before the National Appeals Chamber'.

The organiser of the competition is the Public Procurement Law Association, and the partner is the Public Procurement Law Section of the District Bar Council in Warsaw.
The President of the Public Procurement Office assumes honorary patronage over the third edition of the tournament. This year's edition of the tournament has a special character as the final will be held in the month in which the National Appeal Chamber celebrates its 15th anniversary.

The tournament consists of a simulation of proceedings before the NAC based on case studies involving issues concerning the conduct of public procurement proceedings under Public Procurement Law provisions.

We invite teams of 2-5 participants with their tutors, selected by universities in their qualification processes. Supervisors who wish to enter their teams are asked to do so by completing application forms and sending them to: This email address is being protected from spambots.
