Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition
The Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition is a global simulated legal contest for law students, focusing on issues of international law. Participants, often university students, research complex legal questions, draft memorials (written arguments), and engage in simulated court proceedings before panels of judges. It aims to develop skills in legal research, advocacy, and understanding of international legal principles. Since its inception in 1959, it has become one of the most prestigious competitions of its kind, fostering dialogue among future legal professionals and promoting awareness of international law challenges.
