|

In March 2020, stay-home orders demanded tribunals and courts throughout Canada to digitize their procedure. In Ontario, many courthouses upgraded their internet infrastructure to accommodate video conferencing.

In May of 2020, the Lion’s Cup National Undergraduate Moot digitized, proceeding over Google Meets. In 2021 and 2022, the Lion’s Cup Moot proceeded via Zoom.

In 2026, tribunals and courts throughout Canada continue to utilize videoconferencing including Microsoft Teams and Zoom.

In 2025, moot enthusiasts observed that Canada has multiple English language moots. French Canadian undergraduates and law students appear to enjoy less opportunities to engage in competitive mock court proceedings.

French Canadian lawyers and legal scholars’ contributions to Canadian Public Law are vast and significant. The Bilingual Moot Canada celebrates French language’s enduring importance within our Common law. Law students and undergraduates alike are invited to moot before French and Bilingual judges. The tournament prioritizes French and curbs use of English language.
