The win marks the first time since 2017 that Aberdeen has reached the finals, and its first win since 2006.

Aberdeen’s Syed M. Humaid Adil and Dina Hingorani saw off stiff competition from Dundee’s Finlay Crowe and Andrew Savage.

Ms Hingorani said: “I am grateful to have won the Lord Jones Mooting held by the University of Dundee alongside Syed M. Humaid Adil.

“It was an incredible opportunity to receive feedback from multiple academics and Lady Drummond, while gaining a deep appreciation for the skilfully crafted mooting problem by Dr Alex Simmonds.

“Dundee’s Finlay Crowe and Andrew Savage were formidable opponents, and it was a pleasure to compete against them.

“Winning this competition on behalf of the University of Aberdeen for the first time since 2006 has been an incredibly rewarding experience and could not have been done without the support of the University of Aberdeen Mooting Society, and our Master of Moots, Dr Jonathan Ainslie!”

Mr Adil said: “Competing in the Lord Jones Mooting Competition is, without a doubt, one of the best advocacy experiences available to students. Reaching the finals of the competition after four moots in a single day, alongside Dina Hingorani, was itself a huge achievement for us.

“It was the first time since 2017 that Aberdeen had reached the finals and the first time Aberdeen has won the competition since the inaugural Lord Jones Moot in 2006. I am very grateful for the experience, but also for the feedback I received from Lady Drummond on my advocacy and argumentation.

“Needless to say, there could be no better way to round off my time here at Aberdeen as an undergraduate law student.”
