This paper interrogates a client consultation competition that the author co‐organised on domestic violence law with staff and students from a higher education institution in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. It hones in on the political interface that the event fashioned between the author, the student competitors, and the state. The paper demonstrates the value of cross‐pollinating social geographic work on events and encounter with legal‐oriented scholarship in the discipline on spaces and actors of law.
