Best Oralist Award

REWI Student Helena Leigh Lewis Wins Best Oralist in the Helga Pedersen Preliminary Round in Maastricht

REWI Graz student Helena Leigh Lewis was named Best Oralist among over 60 participants in the preliminary round of the Helga Pedersen Moot Court Competition (details here) in Maastricht (NED) this February. After the organizers corrected an error in their scoring, she has now belatedly received the award for her outstanding overall performance on the applicant as well as on the respondent side. The team's coaches, Gerd Oberleitner and Gregor Fischer-Lessiak, are jubilant. Congratulations on the great performance, Ms. Lewis, to you and the whole team!

Students interested in participating in the competition in the upcoming winter term can find more information here.
