The Law Society representatives got through the first three rounds to the quarter-final, and then on to the semi-final, taking third place in the competition overall, at Stetson University College of Law in Gulfport, Florida.

The team also scooped the prize for third-place for written arguments.

The Blackhall team faced competitors from Singapore Management University in the semi-final.

On the way, they defeated the National Autonomous University of Mexico, and met North American champions, the University of Saint Thomas (Canada), in the quarter-final.
