The 2014 Phillip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court problem addressed the conflict between maritime development and the environment, the salvage of underwater cultural heritage, and extraterritorial criminal jurisdiction on the high seas. In this rigorous competition, teams argue both sides of the legal issues and write the memorials (briefs) for both sides. The issues are argued in English and the memorials are written in English. The Alona E. Evans Award recognizes excellence in Memorial (Brief) writing at the International Rounds of the Phillip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court. Awards are presented to the top ten (10) scoring Teams based on Total Memorial Raw Score (both Applicant and Respondent) in the International Rounds. The team from Kyiv National Taras Shevchenko University (International Relations) tied for 10th place out of 117 competing teams from around the world, with an overall score of 531 points (256 Applicant Memorial, 275 Respondent Memorial). Because of this achievement, the Team’s memorials will advance to the Dillard Competition where their memorials will be judged against the other top memorials from the International Rounds and from the various Qualifying Rounds. Winners of the Dillard Competition received a Hardy C. Dillard Award and advance to the Baxter Competition for the best overall Applicant and Respondent memorial. Members of the team from Kyiv National Taras Shevchenko University (International Relations) are: • Anna Stepanowa • Oleksandra Brovko • Anna Tkachova • Nikita Bessarab • Sergii Iaroshenko
