Hawks Cup
Returning November 14/15th!
Each November, LMC hosts Hawks Cup, Canada’s largest undergraduate mooting competition in the fall term. The tournament consists of four preliminary rounds of competition on Saturday and three playoff-style rounds on Sunday for advancing teams.
In 2025, we hosted 45 teams from 11 schools across Ontario and Quebec and welcomed about 40 lawyers, paralegals, and law students to judge.
In 2026, we’ll invite schools and judges to participate throughout the summer and fall. If you’re interested in competing or judging, do not hesitate to contact Lauriermoot@gmail.com.
This year's tournament case is... R. v Samaniego, 2022 SCC 9!!
