Inaugural James Martin Moot between Western Sydney University School of Law and Sydney Law School

Tuesday 2 December, 5:30pm-7:30pm at Banco Court, Supreme Court of New South Wales

We are thrilled to announce a major new event: an annual moot between students from the oldest law school in Australia, Sydney Law School, and students from the most diverse and dynamic law school in Australia, Western Sydney University School of Law. We are very grateful to the Hon. Andrew Bell, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of New South Wales, for conceiving the idea, agreeing to be one of the judges, and providing the facilities of the Banco Court as the venue. This event is sponsored by Mistry Fallahi Lawyers. One of the firm’s partners, Ehsan Fallahi, is a proud graduate of Western Sydney University School of Law.

The Moot is fittingly named after Sir James Martin (1820–1886). Sir James was Premier of NSW, Attorney-General, and Chief Justice of NSW. Born in Ireland, he and his family relocated to Parramatta in 1821. After attending the Dame’s School at Parramatta, he gained entry to Sydney College (now Sydney Grammar School), walking 20 km each day from Parramatta to the city to attend school.

As Premier, Sir James improved educational opportunities in NSW and supported the establishment of the University of Sydney. It is wonderful to recognise Sir James’s connection to Parramatta, his contribution to the legal profession, and his commitment to public education, through a competition named in his honour.

The event will be followed by a reception in the foyer of the Banco Court. We will announce further information and publish an event registration link here soon.

Alumni Event

Thursday 4 December, 5:30pm-7:30pm in the Banco Court Reception Foyer, Supreme Court of NSW

The final event of the year is specifically for our alumni. We invite alumni to join us in the reception area of the Banco Court in the Supreme Court building in Phillip Street, to reconnect with former classmates and lecturers in a celebration of all that the School of Law has achieved in its 30 years.

More details will be released here later in the year and we will also be sending individual invitations to alumni.
