Looking back on ICCC 2011
With 20 participating countries, the ICCC 2011 finals were a genuine platform for international approaches to client-centered lawyering in practice. The competing teams, all national winners, showed a high level of competence, but also a sincere interest in each others' legal and social culture. Many friendships were established and useful contacts were made.
In the semi-final round, nine teams contended for the highest honors. The composition of the rooms afforded a good indication of the competition's diversity, encompassing all continents:
| Room A | Room B | Room C |
|---|---|---|
| Canada | India | Nigeria |
| Cambodia | Sri Lanka | Jamaica |
| New Zealand | Australia | Netherlands |
Evetually, New Zealand, Australia and Jamaica qualified for the finals, of which the latter was the proud and richly deserved winner.
