On 23 April, the Católica Global School of Law (CGSL) team won the IE Law School's Comparative Law in Action competition. This was the first time that CGSL participated in this prestigious competition that brings together Comparative Law, Technology, and Policy.
Since the kick-off of the competition in February, our LL.M. students worked hard, under the guidance of Professor Benedita Menezes Queiroz, to produce written memoranda about a complex multimedia case blending technology and comparative law.The oral rounds took place at IE Law School’s headquarters in Madrid, where CGSL was brilliantly represented by Laura Lellau, Leonor Barreto, and Sebastian Steinert, who competed against teams from Bocconi University, Bucerius Law School, the University of Edinburgh, FGV Rio, King’s College London, Maastricht University, Tilburg University, and Sciences Po.
In addition to the overall victory, the team also won the awards for Best Memoranda and Best Oralist Team.
