Antigua and Barbuda <\/a><\/strong>will host the fifth annual Fortis Advocatus Moot Court Competition this week, bringing together top CAPE-level law students from across the Eastern Caribbean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The top teams will compete in Friday\u2019s final, with winners awarded internships and cash prizes.<\/p>
