The Adam F. Fanaki Competition Law Moot (external link)  is organized by the Competition Bureau, the Competition Tribunal and the Canadian Bar Association. The Fanaki Moot gives Canadian law students the chance to address intricate civil or criminal issues in the evolving field of competition law, which aims to balance private economic incentives with public interests. It is the only forum for Canadian law students to tackle some of our country’s most pressing issues in the area of law and economics. The moot problem is drafted by a specialized committee, reflecting current and relevant issues in the field of competition law and consists of a hypothetical decision of the Competition Bureau.
