In early June 2021, Dr. Anna Franziska Hauer and Marijke van der Most virtually gathered with students of Goethe University Frankfurt am Main to support their participation in this year’s “Hugo Sinzheimer Moot Court Competition”. In preparation for the pleadings, the students presented their briefs and had the opportunity to add practical suggestions to the case study “A New Mobile Working Guideline”. The morning included exchanges and discussions on the challenges of a digitalized working environment, litigation tactics, presentation style and much more.
The Hugo Sinzheimer Moot Court is an initiative of labor law lecturers at the University of Amsterdam. Its goal is to deepen and improve knowledge of labor law at the European level. Since 2016, it has been held annually – usually always in a different European Member State. At this year’s event, which – due to the pandemic – was hosted for the second time by Ilia University (Tbilisi, Georgia), the German team advanced to the semi-finals. Congratulates on this success!
