THE Zimbabwe Moot Court team, which conquered the world and Europe recently, is made up of young, passionate and intelligent learners.
For the benefit of our readers, the 11-member team first won the World High Schools Moot Court Competition in New York, United States, on Africa Day.
They were then crowned European Champions in Romania on Sunday.
The Moot Court is a battle where participants take part in a simulated court or arbitration proceedings, usually involving oral arguments in a fictitious court case.
Participants analyse a problem, research the relevant law, prepare written submissions and present oral arguments.
Zimbabwe is the first country from Africa to win both the World and the European title.
