Jessup Moot Court Competition

The Jessup Moot Court Competition is an international simulated court case where law students argue a fictional legal issue before judges, often including real or former judges. It focuses on international law, particularly the law of treaties and state responsibility. Participants prepare written pleadings and deliver oral arguments, demonstrating their understanding of legal principles and advocacy skills. The competition aims to develop critical thinking, legal research, and persuasive communication, while fostering a deeper understanding of complex international legal issues among future legal professionals.
