Last year, Oxford University fought their way to victory in one of the closest finals of recent years, held on 1st July 2010 at BPP Law School, Holborn. In a tense final where just one point separated first and second place the presiding judge
HHJ Gratwicke paid tribute to all law students: "It's humbling because I know that 40 years ago when I was your age (sporting long hair and a beard!) I could never have competed at the same level as you. To reach the final of this competition, to demonstrate your ability to master facts, to present them in the way you have and deal confidently with my interventions, is quite some achievement and you are all to be congratulated."
