Canadian Client Consultation Competition

CCCC team group shot

The Canadian Client Consultation Competition (CCCC) (external link)  simulates a law office environment where law students from various Canadian law schools act as lawyers addressing a client's issue. During the competition, students interview an individual portraying a client, gathering relevant information, explaining applicable laws, presenting potential solutions, and helping the client decide on the best course of action. After the interview, students have a post-consultation period to analyze the discussion and plan the necessary follow-up work.

The top-ranking team from the Canadian competition earns the chance to compete in the annual Louis M. Brown and Forrest S. Mosten International Client Consultation Competition, which features law students from over 25 countries.
