F.A.Q
Students currently actively enrolled in their Bachelor or Master programs, as well as graduates from such programs may take part in Legal Challenge 2019, provided they have graduated not more than 3 years before applying for participation. Teams consisting of 1 to 3 persons are invited to take part in the challenge.
Legal Challenge gives students and young graduates a unique chance to apply their knowledge in games law as well as to meet in person legal and business professionals from high profile game companies. 4 teams that will hit the finals will be invited to participate free of charge in Games Industry Law Summit 2019 which will take place on May 2-3, 2019 in Vilnius, Lithuania.
We welcome both students and graduates; therefore, the team does not necessarily have to be related to any university. Furthermore, the team can be composed of students and graduates from different faculties or universities.
We appreciate individual contribution of each participant, that is why we encourage you to form and administer teams on your own. At the same time, if you would like to have someone mentoring you through the challenge, such a person will be invited to Games Industry Law Summit 2019 and will be included into the team headcount, but will not be permitted to plead.
The team wishing to take part in Legal Challenge 2019 shall fill in registration form (available here) and shall pay *a non-refundable* registration fee in the amount of EUR 50 (payment instructions will be emailed after registration). Last chance to register in the challenge is February 15, 2019.
In the first part of the challenge, the teams are expected to submit a memorandum for claimant and a memorandum for respondent; in the second part, 4 teams that receive the highest score for the first part will take part in oral pleadings.
Legal Challenge 2019 case is dedicated to various problems around appropriate remuneration for authors, thus, warming up discussion about applicability of bestseller clauses all over the world.
