WELCOME BACK!
The University of Toronto Cup is an annual two-day undergraduate mooting competition dedicated to the pursuit of progress and excellence in law. Each year, the U of T cup brings together competitors from across the nation. In partnership with the University of Toronto Faculty of Law, we are proud to host the tenth annual U of T Cup on January 31st and February 1st, 2026.
Many undergraduate students express an interest in the law, but there are often few opportunities to engage with it in the way mooting does. The U of T Cup allows students to begin developing and honing skills that they will take with them to law school and beyond. In this way, students have the opportunity to engage with critical legal issues early on in their educational journeys. Beyond supporting growth in understanding of the law, we also hope to continue the tradition of years past: kindling connections between competitors, legal students, and legal professionals.
We are thrilled to announce that The Honourable Justice Andromache Karakatsanis of the Supreme Court of Canada will join us as the Keynote Speaker & Chief Justice for the 10th Annual U of T Cup. You may recognize her as the author of the Supreme Court’s majority decision in R. v. Wilson 2025 SCC 32, our competition case this year. Her remarkable career in public service, advocacy, and judicial leadership makes her presence especially meaningful as we celebrate a decade of undergraduate moot court at U of T.
We look forward to welcoming all judges, competitors, volunteers and spectators to this year’s Cup, which we hope can give everyone a new or rekindled appreciation for the law. We are absolutely thrilled to have the opportunity to host another phenomenal weekend of competition.
