Comparative Law in Action Competition

The Comparative Law in Action Competition, established in 2021 by IE Law School in Madrid, is a one-of-a-kind competition that brings together students from top law faculties around the world to work on an immersive multimedia case study. As the Competition progresses, participants will be provided with new case facts and learning information extracts affecting the case, mimicking the dynamic reality of everyday life. The goal of the Competition is to foster collaboration and innovation among students towards providing a solution of a case that encompasses technology, law and policy.
The 2024 scenario and rules can be found on the IE University website.
