"The Services Seta is in the process of creating a National Moot Court League for Grade 10's,11's and 12's. This extra-mural activity is directed at those learners wishing to pursue studies in Law and Social Sciences and it is intended to sensitise and expose them to the context and complexity of the practise of law in South Africa.
Each grade will be dealt with as a separate league and a competition will be run on a Provincial and National basis."
The competition is open to public and private schools and is to be launched in June 2009 in the provinces, with national competitions planned for September.
"The intention is to encourage learners to develop their own personal Portfolio's of Evidence (POE's) inline with the existing Paralegal Qualification in stages through the three grades."
In 2010, bursaries will be made available to schools which to participate in our Para-Legal Learnership programme offered to selected groups of learners from Grade 10 onwards, selected from their performance results in the Moot Court League."
Interested schools (principals and chairpersons of governing boards) are requested to send an email, including details of the teacher-in-charge of the Schools Debating Club to their local regional offices. The contact person at the Cape Town regional office is Ndiphe Ntusikazi ndiphen at serviceseta dot org dot za or phone 021 425 0417.
