TRU Law has recorded the experience from hosting the 2024 national Kawaskimhon Aboriginal Moot in a short documentary.
The Kawaskimhon Moot is unique in that it is a consensus-based, non-adversarial negotiation. It combines Indigenous legal traditions with federal, provincial and international law, emphasizing concepts of dispute resolution. The moot was first held at the University of Toronto in 1994.
