Law Challenges are competitions organized by IE University for its law students, primarily for those in their first, second and third years. The Moot Competitions, on the other hand, are aimed at students in their third, fourth and fifth years, and require students to take part in an innovative learning methodology that exponentially enriches their legal education.
