Description
The wait is over. Bar Wars! is making its epic return.
Brought to you by the Bar Council Intellectual Property Committee, Bar Wars! is the ultimate showdown where legal minds clash in a thrilling mock trial centred around intellectual property issues.
We will have a briefing for all participants, case analysis and consultation with counsel. After that, get ready for the full courtroom experience — a high stakes trial packed with fiery preliminary objections, ruthless cross-examinations, gripping witness testimonies and powerful legal submissions before a no-nonsense presiding judge. It all leads up to the final, nail-biting judgment.
This is not just any edition of Bar Wars! — it is the first post-pandemic physical comeback everyone has been waiting for. So mark your calendars and prepare for the most entertaining legal battle of the year.
This year, witness two singer-songwriters face off in a high-stakes battle over musical originality. Did a pop star’s latest hit copy a lesser-known track — or is it just inspiration? In this age of remixes and throwbacks … is any song truly original?
May the best counsel win!
