Barristers from Deka Chambers are pleased to have supported this year’s Lawson Mooting Competition at Inner Temple through sponsorship and by acting as judges in the later stages.
The Lawson Moot is a multi-round competition administered by the Inner Temple Mooting Society. Participants are welcome from all pre-pupillage stages of education and training. It provides an excellent opportunity for future barristers to experience and practise advocacy on a variety of areas of law.
On 1 April 2026, the semi-finals took place in front of four of our barristers, Gareth Munday, Thom Dyke, William Dean, and Amelia Katz.
Four talented mooters proceeded to the final, which was judged by Andrew Warnock KC on 21 April 2026. The winner of the moot is Barnaby Potts.
