Kyiv-Mohyla team among the best at the regional rounds of Helga Pedersen Moot Court Competition 2026

Legal education is not only about theory — it is about the ability to argue, think strategically, and advocate persuasively. These are exactly the skills demonstrated by the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy team at the regional rounds of the Helga Pedersen Moot Court Competition 2026.

The team — Yuliia Rudenko, Arsen Seletskyi, and Yuliia Lazar — was awarded Best Team at the regional rounds held in Valletta (Malta).

The team also achieved the highest results in oral pleadings, showcasing outstanding advocacy and argumentation skills.

Coaches: Daryna Korets and Anastasiia Shashkevych.

In June, the team will represent National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy at the international rounds in Strasbourg.

We are especially grateful to Christopher Kelley for supporting the team and making their participation in the regional rounds possible.

We are proud of this achievement and wish the team every success in Strasbourg!
