Grand room for the Grand Moot

It was a grand room for the 2013 Grand Moot, held in the beautiful Victoria Chapel on October 3rd. The soaring ceiling, solid oak doors and vintage podium were quite the Ivy League contrast to Flavelle's mid-eighties Moot Court Room

The Grand Moot, one of the largest mooting events at the law school, had our best mooters facing off in front of a bench led by Supreme Court of Canada Justice Michael Moldaver. It included Ontario Court of Appeal Justice Robert Sharpe, and Ontario Superior Court Justice Katherine Swinton.

The problem dealt with positive rights under section 7 of the Charter, and whether life, liberty, and security of the person can extend to cover the right to health care on Aboriginal reserves.
