DiCiT is the pleading-association of Magister JFT, founded in 1989 on the initiative of prof. mr. Spier (present advocate-general of the Law Lords). DiCiT is Latin for ‘he speaks’ and focuses only and completely on pleading. By doing so, we try to expose as much areas of law as possible. We are convinced that pleading is not only a matter of talent; pleading is something you can learn! Magister JFT | DiCiT offers you the opportunity to get acquainted and to practice with pleading.

Our activities are various. For example, Magister JFT | DiCiT will organize three plea-evenings during this year, where students get the opportunity to plead against each other. A court composed of legal professionals will provide students with useful feedback and tips. If students don’t feel ready to plea in public yet, there will be an opportunity to take place in the audience. Plea-evenings always end with a pleasant drink in the Esplanade restaurant!

Students with a special interest in pleading and becoming active in Magister JFT | DiCiT can apply for becoming association-members. We are always looking for new association-members to reinforce our team! For these association-members, we organize several association-evenings during the year. During these informal evenings, you will become more familiar with (speed-)pleading and similar skills. You can put on the received experiences by participating in one of the Magister JFT | DiCiT-teams during one of the pleading-competitions we will join. Do you want to combine pleasure and usefulness? Become association-member of Magister JFT | DiCiT!
