Two teams consisting of our students from the School of Law participated in the Moot Court Competition organized by the Oybirliği Association. One team, consisting of Zehra Kaya, Zehra Nur Arık, Esra Marancı, Ömer Faruk Güneş, and Abdurrahman Yonca, ranked among the top eight; while the other team, composed of İsmail Kaymak, Zeynep Oral, Gülcan Bayat, and Cengiz Hanoğlu, won first place, marking a remarkable achievement.
The competition process began on April 14 with the release of a fictional case file. Our students prepared statements of claim and defense regarding a legal dispute in the field of law of obligations. Having succeeded in the preliminary hearings held on May 3, our team advanced to the final stage, where they worked on a second case file concerning criminal law. In the final round, held on May 10 at Marmara University’s Göztepe Campus, the team impressed the jury with both their written submissions and oral advocacy, ultimately securing first place and winning the 100,000 TL prize.
Throughout the competition, our students had the opportunity to combine theoretical knowledge with practice in both private and criminal law, enhancing their skills in legal drafting, evidence assessment, and oral pleading.
We sincerely congratulate our students and the academic staff who contributed to this success.
