Honourable Clinton J Ford Shields

This award is presented annually to the two students who make the best arguments in the finals of the annual Moot Court Competition at the University of Alberta Faculty of Law. The award recognizes excellence in legal argumentation and oral advocacy. The winners' names are recorded on a permanent plaque, which was a gift of the late Chief Justice. The four finalists are selected from students who have presented the best arguments in the Moot program, and they compete in two teams, with the winning team having their names engraved on the shield.
