Sopinka Cup
Formation
1999
Location
Canada
The Sopinka Cup is an annual trial advocacy competition in Canada organized by The Advocates' Society and sponsored by the American College of Trial Lawyers. This two-day event is aimed to encourage law schools to train students in the art of oral advocacy. Elimination occurs in four regional competitions across Canada, leaving eight law schools to represent various geographical areas of Canada and compete in the bilingual National Finals hosted in Ottawa. Universities in the western provinces (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba) compete in the MacIntyre Cup. Universities in Ontario compete in the Arnup Cup. Both are mock trial advocacy competitions.[1] Universities in Quebec compete in the Guy Guérin Cup. Universities in the eastern provinces (New Brunswick and Nova Scotia) compete in the McKelvey Cup.
The Sopinka Cup was established in 1999 to honour the late Supreme Court of Canada Justice John Sopinka, who was a long time Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers.
