Barristers from Deka Chambers were delighted to support this year’s Big Voice London (“BVL”) mooting competition by acting as judges on 5 March 2026.
The competition is open to students at A-level (or equivalent) at non-fee-paying schools. The scheme pairs participants with graduates studying on the Bar Training Course. Participants are trained by their mentors before having their first experiences of court-style advocacy in structured moots. The competition culminates with a final at the UK Supreme Court.
Sarah, Max, Theo and William were all impressed by the skill and effort displayed by the participating students.
BVL is a social mobility charity that conducts outreach work seeking to encourage young people to explore legal issues and to expand access to the legal profession. Deka Chambers has a strong connection with BVL through the Aqeel H. Noorali essay competition, which runs annually in memory of our talented colleague who passed away in 2020.
