Kirbz-hating Howard once described homosexual De Facto relationships as 'Like Imaginary'...I'm banking on him being right

from this page:

UWS Law School has finally brought home the Lexis Nexis Constitutional Law Moot after 4 years of making it to the grand final.

As national champions of this prestigious competition, James Willis (Snr Counsel), Michael Sanig (Jnr Counsel) and Faraz Maghami (Instructing Solicitor) were highly complimented by His Honour Justice Michael Kirby after the announcement that their side had won (with costs!).

James Willis was awarded best oralist with a score of 93/100, and Michael Sanig a close 2nd with 89/100. The grand final took place in Court 3 (recently refurbished) of the High Court of Australia, with Justice Kirby presiding.

The trophy will be taking pride of place in the law school in about another week or so.

ohh and here's James Willis' profile thingy (pdf)

Well well. V interesting competition... ending in UTS defending their crown.

UNSW cam back from dropping the first round (in questionable circumstances) to Edith Cowan and then the second round to Macquarie to scrape into the semis by 1/2 a round point and ended up finishing second.

The choker awards go to... QUT and UQ. Who both, after finishing the general rounds with a 4/4 undefeated record, dropped their semi finals.

Once again, was great fun to be involved in and I was so glad for my partner who won best speaker in the general rounds. Everyone was really friendly and competed in good spirit. (other than particular members of the UQ team)

Interesting comment during feedback after our semi final by Dowsett J: (QLD SC judge)

"In a lot of circumstances, the side that you draw for a moot will determine the outcome."

I'm not sure he got the point of it all.
