Fabia Shaw and Harry Emerson emerged as winners in the Intervarsity Mock Trial final, held on Friday afternoon in the weekend summit’s venue, the Rochestown Park Hotel in Cork.

Fellow UCC students Eve O’Shaughnessy and Max Philpott won in the Intervarsity Moot final the next day, narrowly besting TCD rivals Eoin Jackson and Anne Spillane.

The competitions were judged by a panel of sitting and former judges: Mr Justice Gerard Hogan, Ms Justice Marie Baker, Mr Justice John MacMenamin, Mr Justice Liam McKechnie, Ms Justice Mary C. Irvine, Mr Justice David Keane and Judge Helen Boyle.

Elsewhere at the summit, lawyer and former Irish president Dr Mary McAleese urged the next generation of lawyers to stand their ground and not allow the likes of sexism and homophobia to go unchallenged in their midst.
