The 2013 competition was held at the University of Glasgow, Scotland from 3-6 April. Congratulations to Osgood Hall winning students Rebecca Hall-McGuire (left) and Marina Guirguis (right). 19 countries took part advising clients on Serious Crimes against the Person. And we had beautiful spring weather -though still rather cold for the Puerto Ricans! More detail to follow with photos and videos. Competition website. 

The competition
The Brown-Mosten Competition is an annual competition for the winners of national competitions across the world. It provides an exciting opportunity for law students to learn and practise interviewing and counselling skills as well as to meet young (and not so young) lawyers from an amazing range of nations and cultures. You will find all the basic information you need from here though each competition host runs a website with detailed information about the current year's competition. You can also find links to national competitions on the left.

In May 2010, the competition's name was subtly changed from "client counselling" to "client consultation". It was felt that "consultation" reflects better the activity as opposed to the words interviewing, advising or counselling. The name of the Californian lawyer Forrest S. Mosten was also added to the title of the competition. This is in recognition of Woody Mosten's immense contribution to the growth and development of the competition. Woody has also been the president of the competition for over 25 years.
