Welcoming All Students

Modeled after the BLSA Canada Julius Isaac Alexander National Mooting Competition for law students, the Lloyd Dean Moot will focus on an area of law in which issues of equity and diversity arise, incorporating elements of critical race theory into the moot problem. The Moot is free of charge and is open to students who are enrolled in undergraduate programs.

What is a Moot?

Mooting is a competition that requires you to read a hypothetical scenario, research the legal issues, write legal arguments and present them before a panel of judges who will interrupt you with questions which you must defend.

“The Lloyd Dean Moot competition was one of the highlights of my academic career thus far. As an aspiring law student being exposed to another form of law being mooting as opposed to mock trials was a learning experience. I would highly recommend this competition to anyone with an interest in law as the more experience and exposure one gets in any law setting such as this, the better.”

–  Josh Rocetes (Mooter)

Our Mission is Clear

The purpose of this Moot is to provide an opportunity for undergraduate students who may have an interest in becoming a lawyer or attending law school to participate in a beginner-friendly mooting competition and practice their oral advocacy skills.  Participants may also have the opportunity to network with law students, lawyers, professors, legal practitioners and judges, and learn more about attending Windsor Law.

Mooting Tips & Tricks

Justice Lloyd Dean

The Lloyd Dean Moot is named after the Honorable Justice Lloyd Dean, who presides at the Ontario Court of Justice in the West- Region-Essex County. He is the great grandson of Delos Rogest Davis, K.C., who many believe to have been the first black lawyer in Canada.

After completing his undergraduate degree at the University of Windsor, Justice Dean went from playing football to going to law school at Windsor Law. Before becoming a judge, Justice Dean was a full-time prosecutor. Justice Dean thrived in the courtroom. Over the years, he built a solid reputation for this work ethic and his even-temperedness, skills that are highly prized on the bench. Justice Dean frequently returns to the University of Windsor to teach law courses, speak on panel discussions and offers his support to Windsor Law campus clubs.
