The competition consists of public law moot problems, with a focus on public law as it is applied in the planning and environmental law context. Crucially, no prior knowledge of planning or environmental law is required. It’s an excellent opportunity for students to learn about the application of public law in a specific context and learn more about one of Landmark’s key practice areas prior to pupillage applications.
