Origins of the Programme
The Price Media Law Moot Court Programme was established in 2008 with the first International Rounds in Oxford in order to foster an interest in international law governing freedom of expression issues. The Programme is named in honour of Professor Monroe E. Price, the founder of the Programme in Comparative Media Law and Policy (PCMLP) at the University of Oxford’s Centre for Socio-Legal Studies, in recognition of his lifelong devotion and outstanding contribution to the development of media freedom and the rule of law.
The Regional Rounds in South-East Europe of the Monroe E. Price Media Law Moot Court Competition are organised in association with the University of Belgrade. The competition gathers teams from the region to give participants the opportunity to interact with leading academics, policy makers and industry players.
