The ECCL's annual lectures are an opportunity to hear from esteemed legal minds on topics relevant to the intersection of commercial law, public interest, and the legal discipline at large. Past speakers have included, Ms Justice Marie Baker (Judge of the Court of Appeal, Ireland), Professor Louise Gullifer (University of Oxford), and Lord Sumption of the UK Supreme Court.
Conferences hosted by the ECCL are an opportunity to have in-depth discussions across disciplines and institutions on some of the most pressing topics in the field of commercial law. Past conferences have discussed the paradigm shifts in the law and economy post COVID-19, dispute resolution methods, and more. Conferences also allow for cross-collaboration between the ECCL and other organisations within and outside of Edinburgh Law School.
This Pre-Moot opportunity at Edinburgh Law School is an important step for many students in their preparation for their pleadings at the Willem C. Vis Moot venue in Vienna. It gives each student the opportunity to plead on at least two occasions, test out their arguments and receive feedback from arbitrators.

Launched in 2019, the Fintech lecture series is an annual endeavour hosted by the ECCL. Each year, an expert in the field of finance and technology delivers a lecture that demonstrates the relevance of fintech in our daily lives and in the research conducted at the ECCL.
