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 McIntyre Cup. Universities in Ontario compete in the Arnup Cup. Universities in Quebec compete in the Guy Guérin Cup. Universities in the eastern provinces (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador) 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. ==Past winners== *2014: Reem Zaia and Sarah Sullivan from University of Ottawa Faculty of Law *2013: Suzanne Kittell and Michele Charles from Dalhousie University *2012: Jared Epp and Lauren Ignacz from University of Saskatchewan College of Law (Outstanding Advocate: Zoë Marszewski Paliare, Queen’s University) *2011: Jason Demers, Evan Thompson, Kayla DeMars-Krentz and Andrew Kuzma from University of Saskatchewan College of Law (Outstanding Advocate: Evan Thompson, University of Saskatchewan College of Law) *2010: Renée Blanchard and Richard Deveau from L'Université de Moncton *2009: Laura McPheeters and George Roper from University of British Columbia Faculty of Law *2008: Monika Rahman and Mareike Newhouse from McGill University Faculty of Law *2007: Karin McCaig and Donna Polgar from Osgoode Hall Law School *2006: Eric Hachinski and Lana Jackson from University of Manitoba *2005: Laura Marr and Krista Smith from Dalhousie University *2004: Anne-Marie Lacoste and Marie-Pier Michon from Université de Montréal *2003: Kevin Toyne and Jennifer Malabar from University of Manitoba *2002: Almira Esmail and Tim Livingston from University of Victoria School of Law *2001: Stephen Christie and Paul Grower from University of Manitoba *2000: Eli Lederman and Christine Doucet from Dalhousie University *1999: Katherine Hilton and David Armstrong from University of Toronto 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sopinka Cup」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
