In this special episode, International Bar Association executive director Mark Ellis pulls back the curtain on how the IBA ICC Moot grew from an ambitious idea into a world-renowned competition that has helped shape generations of future lawyers. In a recent episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Grace Robbie speaks with Mark Ellis, the executive director of the International Bar Association and a founder of the IBA ICC Moot, about the remarkable journey behind the creation of one of the world's most prestigious international mooting competitions and the inspiration that sparked the competition. Ellis reflects on the immense reward of watching students from across the globe come together through advocacy and opens up about the biggest challenges he faced in bringing the competition to life during its formative years. Ellis also explores the transformative value of mooting, highlights how the immersive experience equips aspiring lawyers with both the professional and personal skills needed to succeed in practice, discusses whether universities are fully recognising the opportunities mooting provides, explains why participation can give students a meaningful competitive edge when pursuing their first legal role, shares his vision for the future of mooting, and offers practical advice for law students on embracing the experience.
