In any competition there are considerable costs incurred in bringing together the panel of judges and competitiors to different venues in the Central and Eastern European region. We are therefore very grateful to our sponsors who help to ensure the success of the competition each year by providing us with the necessary financial or practical assistance.
European Union Institutions
Essential to the success of the competition has always been the healthy collaboration with members of the institutions, in particular we are fortunate that over the years the President of the CEEMC Judicial Panel has always been a member or former member of the European Court of Justice: Lord Slynn of Hadley, AG Fennelly, AG Sharpston. The prize of best speaker has entitled its holder to visit the Court of Justice, formerly the chambers of AG Francis Jacobs, currently in the chambers of the UK Advocate General, Eleanor Sharpston or Bulgaria Judge Alexander Arabadjiev.
In addition members of the chambers of the UK AG and UK Judge (currently Judge Schiemann) have assisted as part of the drafting committee
