Students from Kenya's Strathmore University Beat their Harvard Counterparts in Global Law Competition

Students from Kenya’s Strathmore University School of Law became the first African team to win the John H. Jackson Moot Court on World Trade Organization (WTO) Law.

The team of three students, namely Mishael Wambua, Kandalla Maleehah, and Catherine Penda, made history after beating Harvard Law School in the final of the competition held in Geneva, Switzerland on Saturday.

This was the 17th edition of the global John H. Jackson Moot Court Competition, formerly known as the European Law Students Association Moot Court Competition on WTO Law.

“Strathmore met Harvard in the final of the 17th John H. Jackson Moot Court on WTO Law in Geneva. It was the 1st time an African team made it to the finals. Strathmore Law won the Moot! 🙏🏽 Congrats great team! Kenya!” Luis Franceschi, the Dean Strathmore Law School said in a tweet.

During the competition, participants are required to prepare and analyze a fictive case and present their arguments both for the Complainant and the Respondent in front of a panel which comprises of WTO and trade law experts.

This year, students from 90 Law Schools across the continent took part.

The competition opens on September every year with the release of the case, followed by regional rounds in Europe, Asia Pacific, Africa, and the Americas.

The best 20 teams worldwide of the individual rounds qualify to participate in the Final Oral Round, which is held in Geneva.

Congratulation team Kenya-strathmore.It shows that given opportunity we can excel more.Astudent from the ordinary family setup from Kenya cannot afford the Harvard fee unless you are from high class families.

Congrats.
Harvard and Strathmore are institutions but competing forces ( brains) were born equally but on different geographical, social and economic setup... Which means no institution has Monopoly over Knowledge and that is Strathmore giant too

Its a great pleasure for me to write this testimony about how i got my Genital Herpes cured a month ago. i have been reading so many comments of some people who were cured from various diseases by Dr Omole but i never believed them. I was hurt and depressed so I was too curious and wanted to try Dr.Omole then i contacted him through his email, he assured me 100% that he will heal me, i pleaded with him to help me out.My experience with him was great, he healed me just as he promised. he sent me his medication and ask me to go for a medical check up after two weeks of usage. i agreed with him i took this medication and went for a check up, to my greatest surprise my result was negative, i am really happy that i am cured and healthy again.I have waited for 3weeks to be very sure i was completely healed before writing this testimony.I did another blood test one week ago and it was still herpes negative. so i guess its time i recommend anyone going through the same way. reach him through his email address: dromoleherbalhome48@gmail.com or add him on Whatsapp; +2347042161766 and also on facebook link at: https://www.facebook.com/dromoleherbalhome/
