This year, as always, the Gale Cup Moot Competition听was a difference of mere fractions between the teams. The Schulich School of Law performed extremely well. The Respondents, Jessica Patrick and Christina Macdonald, won the prize for second-place factum!听
"The team was truly outstanding," says coach Mark Scott, Senior Crown Counsel with Nova Scotia's Public Prosecution Service. "It was a pleasure to have coached these fine young lawyers."
The Gale Cup, one of Canada's most prestigious bilingual law school mooting competitions, was founded in 1974. This year, it was held on Feb. 17 and 18 at Osgoode Hall听in Toronto. The case, R. v. Fearon, 2014 SCC 77, explored whether police officers can search a detainee's cellphone upon their arrest without a warrant, or whether this constitutes a breach of Section 8 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Section 8 protects individuals against unreasonable search and seizure.
