We are happy to announce a great opportunity for young lawyers, which I kindly ask to disseminate among your members (for organization members.

The Academy of European Law (ERA) is organising a contest on European law topics for young lawyers. There are still places available that were offered to EYBA. 

You can register until December 15, 2023, with the special voucher code provided to EYBA, free of charge. The programme is co-funded by the European Commission (Justice Programme). Travel, accommodation, and subsistence costs are covered by the project You can find the registration link and more information about the contest below.

Participants can register by using this link: https://applications.european.law/en/Registrations/Apply/223DT161_EYBA. During registration you should use the following code: YELC24EYBA

The aim of this contest is to bring together young and newly qualified lawyers to spotlight the importance of European law for their future legal practice. By involving young lawyers from various EU Member States, the project aims to contribute to the creation of a common European judicial culture and make them feel part of a community with common values by stimulating their critical thinking on EU law and by raising their interest in applying EU law in their daily work of defence and legal advice.

The Young Lawyers Contest 2024 is the third and last of the series of 3 contests under the above-mentioned EU Justice Programme. It will consist of 3 semi-finals (of two half days each) and one final (of 3 days). Every semi-final opposes up to four pan-European teams composed of four contestants each. It consists, ahead of the semi-final of the preparation by the teams of a written report on a question of EU law with practical relevance for their daily professional practice and the oral presentation of it during the semi-finals in front of jurors selected from among high-profile lawyers in private practice with experience in litigation and pleading. The final of a duration of three days involves the best two teams from each semi-final – and is held at ERA premises in Trier (Part 1: two days including a training session and a negotiation exercise) and at the General Court of the European Union in Luxembourg (Part 2: one day including a moot before judges of the General Court).
