KYIV MOHYLA MOOT COURT SOCIETY ANNUAL REPORT 2016
Introduction Kyiv Mohyla Moot Court Society is a civil society organization bringing together students, alumni and faculty members committed to mooting. Our history goes back to 2006 and 2007 when our students first started to participate in moot court competitions working together on common goals and challenges. In May 2013 we were launched as an infromal organization; in May 2015 our Statute was adopted and we are now registered as a student organization at Kyiv Mohyla. Our goals: promoting moot courts as innovative instrument of legal education in Ukraine ensuring high standards of performance by our students and introducing them to the international legal community educating young professionals who will soon run the country promoting Ukraine at the international plane sharing knowledge and experience with all interested parties 2

Afterword This was a great season marked by outstanding achievements. We've accomplished unpredictable yet so welldeserved victories. We've discovered new moots, traveled close and far.

Even better season awaits, right? What we do 18
